Mrs. Ann Finch Meylert, of whose j death we made mention in our last issue, was horn in Montrose, Susque hanna county, April 2;*>, IS2-, and died at. the home of her niece, Mrs. S. F. Colt, near Buffalo, X, V. Feb. ISIOI, aged eighty-one years, nine months and eight days. Her death resulted from a fall which she sus tained about two weeks previous. Mrs. Meylert was the daughter of Hiram Finch of Montrose, who for many years was Pro!honorary and [clerk of the Courts of Susquehanna | county. In 1840 she was united in marriage with the late Michael Mey-! lert who resided in Susquehanna, county, and who with his father had , begun to develope their large tract j of land in this section of the state.' i In Is 17 the new county of Sullivan j | was formed and the following year; I the town of l.aporte was started. It 1 was during that year that Mr. and j Mrs. Meylert took up their residence [ here. Mrs. Meylert has therefore ; heen identified with the place since j its organization fifty six years ago. ; For several years she has spent the! winter months with her niece, Mrs. i S F.Colt, returning to her home here to enjoy the simmer months with relatives and friends, by whom she was greatly beloved. Mrs. Meylert will be greatly miss ed here. Although advanced in yCars she took an active interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of Laporte and its people. She was a kind and sympathetic friend and her good deeds and works are a blessed memory. Her thought ful, kindly interest and care for the comfort and welfare of others made her life a benediction to those about her.

Because—absolutely without restrictions. Because—non forfeitable from date of issue. Be cause—cash loans are provided after second year, on demand at 5 per cent interest without fee or other charge. Because—if death does not occur an accumulative policy is a highly profi table investment for the policy -holder who lives. Policies now maturing to living' policy-holders prove this. In fact NEW YORK LIFE policies do not leak. Health and Accident Insurance also written.
