Mary P. McCartney, aged 29 years, 11 months and 29 days, and Lulu B. McCartney, aged 9 years and 26 days. Mrs. McCartney was born "at erloo, March 26, 1864 wjiere was born, Feb.

28, 1885. Her maiden name was Ferris. She was united in marriage to Mr. Ren McCartney, Jan. 1,1884.

About five years ago they moved to ington, where their has siipce been. The circumstances connected with this dispensation of Providence are among the most, heart-touching cident to human experience. Five weeks before the heavy, stroke fell the afflicted family were apparently in the best of health but the germs of typhoid fever were evidently ed in their systems. Mr. McCartney was the first to cpme down with the fearful disease.

He was closely lowed by Lulu. The anxious wife and mother taxed her every energy in caring for them, until she also was forced to her bed by a burning fever. Little Zell came down about the same time. Thus the entire family were strate at once. From the first the condition of Mrs.

McCartney and of Lulu seemed cal, the latter having a bronchial difficulty as well, and ing the most skillful treatment and patient nursing, it gradually became manifest that the worst must come. They died within two hours of each other, the mother going before. Mrs. McCartney was a noble type of christian womanhood, her religious life dating from girlhood. She was a member of the Methodist church since she came' to Worthington, and was ever active in church and day school work.

Lulu was a ful member of the Sabbath school, and was laying the foundation for a noble christian character. They will both be missed in many ways, but what is our loss is their gain. The bereaved companion and father, and the motherless little girl, together with the sorely afflicted families, have the heart-felt sympathy of 'the entire community in this time of profound sorrow. The funeral service was held in the Methodist church, Tuesday March 27th, at 1 o'clock, Rev W. J.

Robinson officiating. The immense concourse of people present, and the rich profusion of the floral offerings, were an indication of the high esteem in which the deceased were held. The remains were taken to Waterloo, Iowa, on Wednesday for interment, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs, Ferris, parents of the deceased QEBBBDoaanMBMBBanBa Turkey Eggs Turkey Eggs.
