OBITUARY.
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.
The funeral services were held last
Friday afternoon and were conduct
ed l»y 1 I. 11. Fisher and Rev. S.
11. Hngler. The remains were in
terred hy the side of those of her
late husband in Mount Ash Ceme

Whereas, the intimate relations

C. J. Bell, master of the Vermout

i at the recent session of that body wan
the largest for twenty yearn and It
' was one of the most successful meet
ings ever held. There are 110 stibordi
! ante granges in the state, nincty-tlve
; being represented at the state meeting.
: There are twelve I'omonas in the state.
Worthy Master yell's annua! address
' laid great stress on the need of lcgisla
| tlon in the farmer's behalf. Governor
J. e. MeC ill lough was the principal
speaker at the public meeting. Pro
| fessor Morse of South Paris, Me., well
known in grange circles, was humorist
j of the occasion.

F. A. Derthick, master of the Ohio
| state grange, Is father of these weighty
i words: "If a subordinate grauge wishes
1 to exert, a commanding Influence In its
! community it must have a good finan
cial footing. If It deserves to per
suade men and women to Join, It must
have something to Join." The next thing
I it must have, or the tlrst thing, we
, would say, is an interesting and profit
; yielding programme. You haven't
much of a grange It' it isn't doing some
, | thing.
Nearly tt.OOO Patrons la One Cnantjr.
, Jefferson county, N. Y.. is probably
the banner grange county in the United
States. It has 5.020 I'atrons in thirty
two subordinate granges. All New .Ter

' grange dues of every subordinate
grange are paid to date. Jefferson Is
t necessarily influential in the grauge af
' fairs of the Umpire State.

Life Insurance
A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS
WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE
A POLICY
WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE
BECAUSE —Incontestable from the
date of issue. 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.
