CAROLINE TRATUKR-WOonKORD.
Caroline Prallipr-Woodford was born
December 2!), 183",and died December .11,
1S!7, aged 02 years and 2 days.
Sho was a daughter of Thomas Hicks
Prathor, one of the old scttlers.and for
many years a resident, o( East Hickory ;
and was born at East Hickory and there
grew to womanhood. Hor life through
girlhood was an uneventful one, there be
ing connectod with it nothlngthatcalls for
special mention because of anything aside
from tho ordinary. Mrs. Woodford had
only the educational advantages afforded
by tho time and place in which sho lived
but secured a very fair common school
education. It is cortaln that she possessed
at the least estimate to be placed upon it
a considerable mental and intellectual
endowment, no doubt more than the
average. And a regret of her life was the
lack of early and better advantages of an
educational and Intellectual chrracter.
And this regret for herself stimulated n
great ambition of her life after her mar
riage and after her children were born:
thatofseeing her children possess better
advantages than had been hers, and of
seeing them well educated as a result.
In early womanhood she was united in
marriage with John V. Woodford who
survives her. To Mr. and Mrs. Wood
ford wore born three children, all living.
and all present at the burial of their
mother j and all favored also with tho
satisfaction and privilege of being with
hor, and of receiving her farewell words,
previous to lmr death. They are : D. 1).
Woodford, Esq., a practicing attorney in
the State of New York and living in
Jamestown i Mrs. P. F. Woodford of As
toria, Oregon. Mrs. Woodford holds the
position of chief elork and stenographer
in the offices of the Astoria and Colum
bia River R. R. This place she has occu
pied for three years. Previous to this she
occupied a similar position in tho nfliecs
of tho Oregon Paciflo R. R., now tho Or
egon Central and Eastern It. R.,and when
this latter road was purchased by the As
toria and Columbia Co., Mrs. Woodford
was transferred to the Astoria ollico and
put in the present important and respon
sible position. Through tho kindnoss of
tho Company and their consideration for
tho value ot her servises sho wns enabled
to come homo to see her mother without
danger of losing her position. In nddi
tion to this, transportation was secured
for her from Astoria to Irvington, Pa.,
and roturn, free, except the cost of eating
and sleeping on routo. She arrived home
Wednesday before Christmas ; Katharino
G. Woodford, a graduate of Cornell Uni
versity, class of '04, and now Instructor
in English Literature and Rhetoric in
AVarren. Pa., High School. Miss Wood
ford In addition to hor work In the High
School has attracted a very favorablo ut
tenlion from the best literary peoplo of
Warren by her ability as a reader.not ex
actly as an elocutionist, and yet combining
tho best qualities of one with a rare pow
er of interpretation and beauty ot ex
pression. About 29 yeai-B ago Mrs. Woodford re
moved to Jamestown, N. Y., for tho pur
nose of uiving hor children educational
advantages not possible here, and resid
ed thero, engaged in a small business on
terprlso, a greater pari of tho time since
A little more than a year ago sho returned
permanently to East Hickory. Her
health for somo yoars past had not been
good, but the exercise of a strong will
kept l.er up, and not until within three
mouths ago did she yield to failing phys
leal health and call iu the services of
physician, who, when callod, could givo
no encouragement.
Mrs. Woodford possessed a naturo and
character rathor difficult toanalyze.equal
ly dilllcult to understand, and sometimes
likely to be misunderstood, especially
when viewed superficially. And not
charity for tho dead but justice toher and
to what sho was requires of us If wo at
tempt to nay anght of hor in any way to
at least say this mutch: that she was a wo
man of an all'eetionnte nature j of a gon
erous disposition: of a kind heart
thoughtful for others ; and uiicomplain
iug. She bolioved iu the right, and hated
wrong, as sho saw It, with an uncompro
mising hostility, and under any guue.
She was possessed of a strong, indomit
ablo will j a determination not easily
daunted i an ardor not easily dampened.
Her ambition for her children dominat
ed her life, and secc.nd only to the satis
faction of having hor children with her
in the closing hours of her lite was that
of having succeeded lu the plan she had
formed for thorn.
A we lay her away in tho quiet si
lence of the grave some that she los'ed
will wear heavy hearts, some that loved
hor will be left in sadness; and the words
once spokon concerning the absence of
tho living take on u deeper und moro sol
emn significance, and we can say of her,
"sho will bo missed for her place will be
empty."
Funeral services worn held on Sunday,
Jan. 2, at 1:30 p. m., Rev. J. E. Hillard
olliciating, at tho residence of Caleb Mid
dlctoii, whero sho had resided sioeo her
return to East Hickory, and where she

Henderson. Tho pall bearers were

Since eight months preceding his death

sirous concerning his spiritual wolfaro,
and was made the subject and object both
of prayer and spiritual labor by the
hristiau people of Hickory. He died.

MAI.ISHA ANN 7.AHN1SKK.
Again the family of Mr. U. S. Zatiniscr
of Oldtown, besides a host of relatives
and sympathising friends and neighbors,
mourn tho loss sustained In the death of
ono of its members. This time the be
loved mother and wife was summoned to
depart this lile for the better life above.
Mrs. Malissa Ann .ahniser nee De-
France, was born Deo. 17. 1847, in Sandy
Lake township, Vananuo county, Pa.,
and died at hor home at Oldtown Satur
day morning, Jan. 8, 18!)s, at about 8
o'clock, oged 51 years and 2'2 davs.
Mrs. Zahniser's health had been failing
for the past six months or more from tho
cll'ects of a disease or complication of dis
eases which at first baflled the skill of
her physicians to diagnose, but which,
as was Unally decided upon, had its seat
in tho kidneys.
"The deceased was masried to Mr. U. S.
Zahniscr of Mrcer county, where they re
sidod until about 1883, when they moved
with their family to Forest county, where
they have since lived. The husband sur
vives her, also four children, as follows:
A. Newton, DaisyjE., Fiankand DeWitt.
vory perceptible and marked charac
teristic lu tho life of Mrs. Zahniser.which
tho writer has noticed since he became
acquainted with her a tow years ago, was
her gradual development in the divine
life. What baltles she won, and what
vi'Horios sho gainod over the powers of
darkness, which are brought to boar
against every follower of Christ', wore
points in hor life from which, by virtue
of her unflinching faith and fixedness
of purpose and determination, sho
steadily advanced, making new attacks
and gaining greater victories on the ene
my's own battle ground In the spiritual
lite the hold. In this, as well ar iu many
other respects, her life and example is
worthy of imitation. The ripeness of her
character and her development in the
things of God fully qualified her for the
transition from earth to glory. She was
a devoted and loving mother and wife,
und it was one of ber greatest aims in life
to lead her children In the ways of right
eousness. She united with the Free
Mothodist church a few years ago, aud
her loss to the church is deeply felt.
The funeral services which were hold
at tho houso Tuesday at 11 o'clock, were
conducted by Revs. F. E. Glass, ofTitus
