The funeral of MKS. MARY B.

Rev. Paul J. Lux, pastor of First Presbyterian church officiated and made very ap propriate remarks. A choir composed of Misses Margaret Dodson, Margue rite Metzger, Minnie Baurgelt, Bessie McQuay, Rena Hertig, Messrs. H. A. Cox and W. S. Sterner, with Miss Belle Husted presiding at the piano, very beautifully rendered the hymns select ed for the occasion, "Sweet Moments" and "Abide with Me," the latter hymn being a favorite of the deceased. Miss Grace Lloyd, in her sweet soprano voice, sang the solo, "Nearer My God to Thee," her sister, Miss Myrtle, pre siding at the piano. The floral offerings from the family and friends were very beautiful and in great abundance, attesting the esteem, in no small degree, this excellent lady was held by our citizens—not only in Emporium but throughout the entire county, where she had resided since 1868, coming to Driftwood from her native home in Wyoming county, Pa., to live with her sister, Mrs. Pol len; was married to Dr. S. S. Smith, Jan. 10, 1871. In 1882 her health failed her and up to the time of her death she was almost constantly an invalid, but at times delighted to mingle with her friends at parties and receptions. When possible, she loved to enter tain her friends, both young and elder ly, which she did splendidly. After the word had been spoken and beautiful and touching hymns render ed the active casket bearers, Messrs. Jay P. Felt, Geo. Metzger, Jr., Edward White, Guy S. Felt, C. J, Goodnough, Leon Rex Felt Jasper Harris and Russell M. McQuay, all master Masons and members of Emporium Lodge,over which the deceased's husband had pre sided for years.

ELIZABETH EVANS-BARDWELL, wife of Dr. E. O. Bard well, aged 49 lyears at their resi dence, No. 1175, Main street, Buffalo, N. Y., Wednesday evening, March 24th, 1909, at ..seven o'clock, of double pneumonia, was an awful shock to the host of friends of the family in Empo rium, where they resided so many years and wereclosely allied with our people before going to Buffalo. The Empori um friends of the family were not aware of her illnsss until the sad news was received. Mrs. Bardwell was taken sick Satur evcning previous to her death and rapidly grew worse. The best physi cians of Buffalo were called at once and every known remedy and skill was resorted to to save her life, but without avail. She realized her|condi tion and told her attendants that she could not live. She was conscious al most to the last, but peacefully passed to the great beyond, to join her father, mother and sisters who passed over years ago. Mrs. Bardwell came to Emporium when only seven years of age and re sided hero most of her lite. Twentv one years ago she was married to Dr. E. O. Bardwell and was a faithful, af fectionate and loving wife, kind to a I fault and during the illness of her hus i band, which covered a number of years, no wife could have been more watchful, patient and faithful. An ex cellent manager and housekeeper, she made the home attractive and was al ways surrounded by hosts of our citi zens, she being of that happy, jovial disposition that made one shake off the "blues." Many were the pleasant hours ye editor, as well as hosts of our citizens, passed in her pleasant parlors or varanda. We shall long remember her sunny disposition and the occa sions passed in the company of Dr.and Mrs. Bardwell. Nine years ago, next June, she was stricken with what it was feared to be a fatal disease and after a severe oper ation, by Dr. Mann of Buffalo, she bore up wonderfully. Although a great sufferer, yet she maintained that hope ful and sunny disposition. After mov ing to Buffalo (one year ago last Aug.) her health improved remarkably and only a day before her illness she ex pressed surprise at her greatly improv ing condition. Dr. Bardwell, whom we regret is in very feeble health, is almost crushed by the cruel blow, yet surrounded by loving hands and friends may be consoled and we hope will bear up under the irreparable loss. The remains were taken to Penn Yan, N. Y., the native home of Dr. Bardwell, Friday morning and laid at rest in the Bardwell family plot. Mrs. Clara Cruise and Miss Jane Evans, Emporium, and Mrs. Emma Sewell, Lima, Ohio,were with their sis ter when she passed away. Also Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Hayes of Emporium, who remain there yet. The PRESS and our citizens very gen erally, deeply sympathize with Dr. Bardwell and the afflicted family and and we known we express the deepest sympathy of our people who regret that circumstances prevented our be ing present to aid In consoling and •-.omforting, in a measure, in the sad hours. DAY. E. CALEB DAY, aged 50 years, died in a Buffalo Hospital Tuesday m. a. after a long illness. Deceased resided here many years ago and will be re membered by man 3' of our citizens as a carpenter who married Miss Lizzie Morro. He leaves a wife and one daughter, Miss Lillian, to nsourn his death, the latter lady notifying Mrs. M. A. Rockwell of the death. Mr. Day was a member in good standing of Em porium Lodge, No. 984,1 O. O. F., and was cared for by a Buffalo Lodge at the request of the fraternity at this place. Wejhave no particulars of the death of Brother Day other than the above. Store Improvements. The Fair Store has been thoroughly renovated during the past two weeks and makes a very neat appearance. New linoleum has been placed in the isles and the tables rearranged, allow ing better display of the goods.
