The summons of death came last Tuesday morning to Mrs. Elizabeth Walker, relict of the late John S. Walker, who passed away about 5 o'clock at the residence of her son, Mr. J. W. Walker, Main street, at the age of 73 years & 4 months.
At an hour when the bereavement weighs so heavily upon the family & friends, words must fail to express adequately or in a measure the profound sympathy felt for them. The funeral took place on Thursday to Erin Cemetery.
