Mary Ethel, only daughter of Mrs. Lizzie Galbreatb,died at herhome on Xenia Avenue, Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock, alter an . illness of. about three weeks, Ethel has been almost an invalid for some time, having been obliged to leave her studiesonaccount of her health, but it was hoped that outdoor exercise would be of great benefit toher, and, indeed, she seemed to improve wonderfully until she' was attacked with the “grip,” when ail hopes were abaudoned of her ultimate recovery. At the time of her death she was about seventeen years of age, having been born in Cedarville May 5th, 1875. It was not only the beau­ ty of her features, (for which shewas noted,)that made .her a general favor­ ite with her companions, but the beauty of iter character that endeared her to them, as her kindness and con­ scientiousness were unusually promi­ nent traits. Miss Ethel united with theR. P. Church of this place at the age of thirteen, and since that time has been an active member of the Christian Endeavor Society besidesat­ tending to all her other duties in the church. The funeral services were preached at the residence Thursday morning at 10 o’clock, by Rev, Mor­ ton, who was assisted by Revs.Sprout and Warnock. The body was buried in the Tnrbox cemetery. Bhe leaves a motheranil two brothers to mourn her loss. Thus passes away one of our most esteemedyoung ladies, She will be mourned by all but none will mm her a* do those from the family circle that has beei£ho rudely broken. The death angel invades that home for the second time within the past nine months, each time rendering more sad the heartbroken wife and mother as he prematurely gathers her treasuree»from her, Mrs. Galbrrath and sons have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community during these dark hours.
