Death of Mrs. Funk

Mrs. Armenia Funk died at 6 o’clock Tuesday evening of this week. The lady had been ill for some time and her disease baffled the skill of physicians and the watchful care of trained nurses. She has been gradually sinking for the past week or ten days and the family and physicians realized that death was inevitable. The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Barrier officiating, and the interment was in Odd Fellows cemetery. Mrs. Funk was a lady of exceptional qualities: she was kind-hearted, lovable and generous to family and to friends and her place will not be easily filled. The family have the heartfelt sympathy of many friends in their bereavement.
