It is our painful duty this week to chronicle the death of Mary, beloved wife of Thomas Garnett, at the age of 35 years and 6 month, which sad event took place on Thursday night last.

Deceased had only lived in this place some eight months and being of a loving and cheerful disposition, had won the love of all and was very highly esteemed in this place.

The funeral took place on Sunday at eleven o'clock to Mount Pleasant Cemetery and was followed by a very large number of friends.

The casket was covered with flowers given by loving friends, showing their last respect.

Deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Guest of Mount Pleasant, who, with the lonely husband, have the deepest sympathy of this community.
