Former Citizen Died In New York Leet Week

Word has just reached here telling of the death of Mrs. T. C. Thornton, at Ripley, N. Y., on last Friday, where she had gone for a visit with relatives from her home in Manton, Mich. Mrs. Thornton was the wife of Thomas Thornton and was formerly a citizen of Rensselaer. Mr. Thornton is in the soldiers* home at Lafayette. Deceased had been in fairly good health and her death was quite sudden and unexpected and will be a shock to her many old friends in this city, The remains were shipped to Manton, Mich., where burial was made.
