OBITUARIES
COUNT LEWENHAUPTS

A bride and a widow in eleven
days, is the sad lot of Countess
Lewenhaupt, nee Ellen Bayard,
daughter of ex-secretary of state,
Thomas F. Bayard. The death was
unexpected, and was great shock
to the family and friends. No one
outside the family knew that the
Count was i'll. The funeral took
place yesterday afternoon, at five
o'clock, with interment in the old
Bayard family vault, in the Old
Swedes' P. E. Church yard
MARIA L. COLLINS
Mrs. Maria L. Collins, wife of
William B. Collins, died on Sunday
evening after protracted illness,
age rs years. She had been in fail
ing health for year or two, last
summer being seriously i'll for sew
eral months but was eventually
able to be up and about the house
in the fall, to suffer relapse in the
winter gradually weakening until
she died as above stated. She was
the daughter of Thomas Layton, a
prominent farmer near Smyrna
over half a century ago. Shortly
after reaching young womanhood
she became the wife of Robert Den
ney, a popular young business man
who lived and died at the mill then
known as 'Layton's MilI' on the
State road four miles below Smyr-
ma, after a most happy welded life
of only a few years. After a wi
dowhood of four or five years, she
became the wife of William B. Col
Inns and blessed his home during
these remaining 46 years. Four
children were the result of this
union. The funeral takes place this
interment at Glenwood
cemetery.
MISS FLO GOOTEE
The death angel has with I'm
wanted frequency the past several
years made incursions in our COM
and borne away to the "un-
country" those who
seemed especially prepared to live
a life of happiness for themselves
and be blessing and joy to others
in whatever sphere they moved.
The latest call Of this dire messen-
ger was for Miss Flo Gootee,
of the late DR.. B. F.
Gootee, an hour after the twilight
of Thursday evening had thickened
into darkness. The news passed
from one to another quickly, and
to her young friends with the force
of an electric shock. They knew
that she was i'll, as persons with
the disease she was stricken with
typhoid fever always become,
passing near the gates of death,
but none of her young friends
allowed themselves to think she
would enter its portals. There are
cases where fatality is ineffaceably
stamped on the patient, and hers
was one of them; and thus in sew
enteen days with a fever that fast
ened itself on her vitals from the
first with corroding force, the sill
YER cord was loosened, the golden
bowl was broken-the released
spirit took its flight. She was
member of the Presbyterian Church
of the Sunday School, the choir, &c.
Her education, which was at the
Moravian Seminary, Bethlehem, Pa.
fitted her in social accomplishments
among others, touch and skill
with the piano that is rarely equal
led. At one o'clock on Monday a
large concourse Of people met at
the residence of her bereaved moth
er and aunt on Mt. Vernon street
to pay their last respect. Rev. c. G.
Adams, the pastor, from heart
moved by the great affliction paid
fitting tribute to her virtues. The
interment was at the Episcopal
Cemetery.
