No death within our village lias caused
more heartfelt sympathy and regret than
that above mentioned and wliich is the
subject ui this notieo. Young, beautiful
and Jovcablc, in thc prime of bright and
useful life it seems more the pity that
she be called to till an early grace.
On the Saturday week previonytohor
death s]i» was feeling .-somewhat indisposed. Xext day herself and husband
were out driving about the city, thinking
perhaps thf fresh air would hay<* a bracing effect. She continued feeling Ind
during the Ilrst of the week, suffering
from neuralgia aud a cold whicli brought
on severe congestive chills producing on
Thursday evening premature childbirth.
From this time s-iie gradually grew
worse, and iu spite of the best medical
skill and careful nursing, Flu* rapidly
sunk,
Fitting funeral services were held in
the 7th street 31, E, church at 10 o"clock
Tuesday forenoon,   conducted by Eev.
Lee L. Tower.   Thc text was appropri •
nte and the remarks well chosen and well
rendered, as also the music by the quartette choir.   The   floral ofi'erings  that
adorned the casket were very lovely, especially thc pillow of ruses upon wliich
was the word "Lena" and tliu letters "IC,
of P," n token from the order of which
Mr. Croupe is a member.   The church
was very crowded, and even outside was
a large number of persons unable to gain
admittance.   Tiie Knights of Pythias attended the funeral iu a body, thc division
appearing in full uniform, heading the
procession n^ *t formed at the house, nnd
again as it proceeded to thc cemetery.
At the gr.-vve Rev. Tower opened by an
invocation, when the Knights sang the
following ode:
May vour slumber bo all blest,
When you closo your eyes in rest;
May the holy aucclB keep ,
Vigils o'er you while you sleep.

Said a stranger on Wednesday w„ho
was in waiting for an F. & P. M. train

bell6yc this to be a hustling and thriving young village with a yery bright
future before it. I took a walk around
the town and everything appears to be
on the move, new buildings and improvements On every hand. The place must
be a hummer and I think I shall look it
over more thoroughly at some future
time," From further conversation it
was learned that he represented a large
manufacturing indtiBtry that was looking
for a location.

house built thereon.   He was a man of*
many noble traits of character and had -a
a host of warm friends in tho community  .
in whicli he resided.
The primary cause leading to his demise was undoubtedly a slight paralytic
stroke which he. suffered about a year
ago, which affected his heart and has
troubled him more or less since that
time, finally resulting in his demise from .
heart disease.
