Death of Stella Griffin.

Miss Stella Griffin, associate editor of the Remington Press, died last Friday morning at the Women’s Hospital, Chicago, where she had gone to be operated on for the removal of a tumor, having never regained consciousness after the operation. The remains were brought back to Remington and the funeral held from the Christian church at that place Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. D. Carson, the pastor. Deceased had a wide circle of friends, and the funeral was very largely attended, the church not being large enough to accomodate more than one-half those in attendance. Miss Griffin was 38 years of age, and had been a teacher in the Remington schools for a number of years, retiring in the early ’9o’s on account of ill health. She was an active and earnest worker in her church, and probably has done more for it than any other person in Remington.' In her death Jasper countv loses one of its brightest wdimjp and the Christian denominatron one of its most honored members. She leaves a father, step-mother who was like a mother to her, one brother and hosts of friends to mourn her loss. Our deepest sympathy is extended the bereaved family and friends in their sad afflication.
