MRS. J. C. PORTER DIES.

After Months of Suffering Death Comes As a Blessed Relief. Mrs. Carrie Porter, widow of the late J. C. Porter, died at her home on the corner of Cullen and Susan streets at 7:15 Friday evening after long months of suffering, aged 49 years, 8 months and 16 days. The funeral was held Sunday at 2 p. m.’ from the Presbyterian church, conducted by Rev. J. C.° Parrett, and a large number of sorrowing friends followed the remians to their last resting place in Weston cemetery, where the grave was litterly hidden by the latge number of floral offerings. ; She leaves three brothers ard one sister, James F. Irwin of Rensselaer, Robert F., of Remington, John A., of Brook and Mrs. Man- J. Watts of Broad Ripple, Ind. She resided near Remington for several years and later taught in the public schools of Jasper county, including Rensselaer,. She was married to J. C. Porter in June, 1891, but no children were born to them. Mr. Porter died suddenly from heart disease April 19 last, and Mrs, Porter, who was apparently recovering from an operation of a few months before, was much depressed by his death. and seemingly from that time cared little how soon her time came to join him. She had been confined to her bed a greater part of the time since her husband’s death, and the end has been expected at almost any hour for several weeks. Mrs. Porter was highly respected, was popular in church and lodge circles, and a host of friends grieve over her taking away. \ , WW-A - ,
