    • EDITH C. EDLER PASSED AWAY
      CALLED RATHER SUDDENLY FROM THE VALE OF TEARS TO THE HOME ABOVE
      The people of Elmira last Thursday received a great surprise and shock when they heard that Miss Edith C. Edler had passed away, for few had heard of her illness at least of any serious condition. On the previous Tuesday evening, while on her way to attend the school concert, she suddenly collapsed. She was taken home and a doctor was called. He, however, could do nothing for her as she lapsed into a coma and never regained consciousness. Kidney trouble caused her death.
      The deceased was born near Elmira, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Edler. She attended Elmira public school and Kitchener high school. Later she got a good position in Detroit, where she remained for a number of years. Here, also, she was active in church and Sunday Schoolwork. About a year ago ill health compelled her to come home for a rest. She was able to go back for a time, but again had to cease work, the insidious disease having undermined her system.
      She is survived by one brother, Albert of Seaforth, and six sisters, namely, Carrie, Luella an Marie at home, Ethel (Mrs. R. Haueh) of Moncton, N. B., Vina of Detroit and Violetta of Kitchener.
      The funeral took place on Monday afternoon. Rev. E. H. Bean, of the Evangelical church, preached the funeral sermon, taking from Jer. 15:9 the words: "Her sun went down while it was still day." The pallbearers were: Aaron Miller, Wm. G. Brox, Sylvester Bowman, O. H. Schmidt, Addison Shoemaker and Menno Snider.
