and grieved on Sunday morning 4
hear of the sudden passing away o
Mrs. Mary Lewis Postles, wife Of r
Reynolds Postles, at IL p. M. on Sat
urday. Her death was due to a hear
attack. She was greatly beloved in
this community She was cultured
refined and Of gracious personality
that endeared her to every one who
met her. So many beautiful traits
made up her character that It is diff
ficult to express ones self in written
words and to express adequately the
sympathy of the community for the
sorrowing family. In spite of the III
health she suffered for a number OF
years, she persisted in keeping her
mind on the sunny side OF life. She
was a great reader and was better
informed on current events and
works of literary merit than the
average citizen. She kept her mind
stored with treasures that gave her a
chaste refinement of the spirit and
rare maturity of Judgment. She was
a member of Trinity NJ. Z. Church
and associated with its various de-
partments. Funeral services were
held at the home on Wednesday af-
