Obituary.

M iss Madge, the 17-year-old daughter of H. W. and Etta Iliff, passed to spirit life Sept. 13, 1901. The funeral services were held at the family residence, 7 miles northwest of Remington, on the loth and was one of the largest funerals ever held in the county. This cultured and gifted young lady was a universal favorite with all who knew her, and neighbors and friends from all parts of the county were present to express sympathy and condolence for this bereaved family. The death of Madge will be greatly felt in this community for she was a bud of great promise and had already attained proficiency in her literary and musical attainments, and was bidding fair to become one of the brightest flowers in the field. Madge, as she was familiarly known, was firm and decisive in all her opinions and honest and sincere in all her work. In religion she was a Spiritualist, and was very decisive in her knowledge of the same and made choice of a Spiritualist minister to conduct her funeral. The officiating minister chosen 'was Dr. G. N. Hilligoes, pastor of the Ist Spiritual Church of Anderson, Ind. The floral tributes were elaborate and beautiful, especially in design, as they typified her young and promising life and the religion she represented. The pall bearers were four young gentleman friends aud two young ladies all wearing sunflower boquets, tbe emblem of her religion. Interment in Weston cemetery, at Rensselaer. Poor afflicted girl, but sweet and patient in all thy long siege of suffering. Our loving and most tender thoughts follow you to your beautiful home in spirit life. We know that life is the sweeter that you have lived and death the brighter that you have died. A Friend. Remington, Ind., Sept. 17.
