MRS. M’RAE, DEAN OF WOMEN AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY, DIES.

Mrs. Emma Mont Mcßae, for many years professor of' English literature and dean of women at Purdue university, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. S. Hardy Mitchell* of Newton, Mass., at 3 o’clock Sunday morning. She was one of the best known and best loved women in Indiana, she having been for more than fifty years a teacher, prominent club woman and public lecturer. Mrs. Mcßae’s first visit to Delphi was in May, 1899, when she talked before the graduating class of the Delphi high school. She often lectured here in later years. The funeral services were held Tuesday in Muncie from the home of Miss Elizabeth Willard, a girlhood friend of Mrs. Mcßae. The services were very simple in accordance with her desire. President Stone paid her a beautiful tribute at the services, speaking of her life, work and influence during the years she was connected with the university. Interment was made in the Muncie cemetery beside her husband, Hamilton S. Mcßae. President W. E. Stone and Dean Carolyn Shoemaker were among the Purdue representatives at the funeral.—Delphi Citizen-Times. —Mrs. Mcßae was well and favorably known to the teachers of Jasper county. She was an instructor at several of the county teachers’ institutes of this county.
