    • MISS LAVINA EDLER PASSES AT DETROIT

      Word was received in Elmira on Friday of the sudden passing in Detroit of Miss LaVina Katherina Edler. She was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Edler of this town and had been residing in Detroit for approximately 35 years.

      Miss Edler was a devoted member of the Mack Avenue, Evangelical Brethren Church of Detroit and enjoyed her fellowship with the church.

      She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Wherever she went she scattered sunshine and had a ready smile for everyone. Her motto was "others", and all who came in contact with her were cheered by her sunny disposition.

      She is survived by four sisters, Mrs. H. R. Hauch (Ethel) of Toronto; Miss Violet Edler, Kitchener; Misses Carrie and Marie Edler of Elmira; and also a large circle of friends and relatives.

      Funeral services were conducted by Conference Superintendent Rev. W. H. Watson in Detroit on Sunday afternoon, after which the body was shipped to "Elmira and rested at the Dreisinger Funeral Home, until Monday afternoon when a service was conducted by Rev. C. B. Heckendorn, pastor of the Zion Evangelical United Brethren Church, Elmira. Burial was made in the Elmira Cemetery.
