B. Forsythe Surprises and Delights Congregation With Memorial Gift to Cost ♦2.5W0. The members of the Presbyterian church had srieefai reasons to be filled with the joyful Easter spirit, when, at the beginning of the Easter service Sunday Rev. Parrett announced that B. Forsythe, a member of the church, had signified bis intention of placing a memorial pipe organ in the church during the coming summer. It is gratifying to the church and the town to £now that it has such public spirited citizens, willing to give some of their wealth in a way that will give pleasure to many in the years to come. This will probably .represent the largest individual donation ever given in Rensselaer and the members of the church are especially grateful for this magnificent gift, coming, as it did, at the beginning of a new church year. It seems to prophesy a year of Sven better things than the past very successful one. The prosperity is largely dhe to she readership of Rev. Parrett, who is now entering on the seventh year of his pastorate, each year of which has been a forward step. As an expression of their good will and appreciation Mr. Parrett was given the surprise of a raise of SIOO in his salary. Mrs. Eger, as president of the Indus trial Society, also deserves much credit for the splendid Work accomplished. The ladies in that organization have raised more thafa $l,lOO during the year and they are now planning extensive improvements in the basement of the church.

W. W. Matheny Died Suddenly Monday —Grief Thought to Have Superinduced Heart Trouble. William W. Matheny, whose wife died two weeks ago as a result of a stroke of paralysis, died this Monday noon at the home of his son, Emerson Matheny, northeast of this city. The cause of his death is given as angina pectoris, which is a suffocating contraction of the lower part of the chest and which affects the heart. Both he and Mrs. Matheny were enjoying excellent health prior to the time when she suffered a stroke of paralysis two weeks ago today. They were rugged people and looked as though they would live for many years. Her deqth was very sudden and he was greatly borne down by grief. He seemed in a cloud of despondency and so grief stricken that nothing could be done to even momentarily cause him to take his mind from his sorrow. He wept to the home of his two sons, northeast of town, avowing his intention to remain with them for only a short time and then to return and reopen his home. Sunday he was in great pain, suffering intensely from the shortness of breath. Dr. Kresler was called and by use of morphine secured temporary relief. This Monday morning he was but little improved but was able to get up and be about the house. Finally it was noticed that he had not been with the family for a little time and a search was made for him and he was found in one of the bedrooms of the house in a dying condition. Drs. Kresler and Gwin were both called but life had passed away before either arrived. Mr. Matheny was a veteran of the civil war and* lived a retired life. He was highly respected by all who knew him. The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed.
