      Mrs. Merners Funeral

      The burial of the wife of the Hon. Samuel Merner took place on Tuesday last at 2, p. m. The deceased had been ailing for several months previous to her death with some bronchial affection. Mrs. Memer was born in Alsace, and was nearly 66 years of ago at her death. She was the mother of 14 children, 10 of whom are still living. Her remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of relatives and acguaintances. Among the latter were many officials of the county. The cortage left the house and wended its way to the Evangelical Methodist church on Peel street, where funeral services were held, the Rev. Mr. Umbach officiating. The church choir sang appropriate hymns to an overflowing audience many being unable to gain admittance. The remains were exposed to view in the vestibule and the last affectionate look was taken by the friends before the procession moved to the grave. The remains were then interred in the family burial plot in the village cemetery. Numerous floral offerings were received, among them a magnificent pillow with the words "our mother" from the children of the deceased.
