The remains of Mrs. Rutherford, who died recently at Howard, Kan., were brought to this city last Saturday. The funeral services took place at the Pres­byterian church Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Rutherford was one of the oldest members of that organization, having united with the church in 1829 [mem­ber number 49]. After the services, which were conducted by Rev. L. P. Marshall, the remains were taken to the Smiley graveyard for burial.
