Death of Mrs. Anna Yager.
Anna M. Dunlap was born Aug. 1, 1858, and died June 30, 1898. At the home of her father, Adam Dunlap, on the 10th of October, 1877, she was married to Clarence Yager.
Deceased was a member of the Christian church and was an ardent laborer for the cause of Christ until her health failed her and confined her to her home. The last few weeks of her illness were spent at the home of her parents, where she died Thursday morning at 4 o’clock.
The funeral services will be held this afternoon (Friday) at the house, after which the remains will be placed in the vault at the cemetery until Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock, when final interment will be made.
Although death has been hourly expected for some time, the friends and relatives of the deceased could not help but feel the deepest sorrow when her death occurred. As an obedient daughter, faithful wife and affectionate mother her loss will be deeply lamented. In this sad departure she leaves a father, mother, husband and one daughter, two sisters and a brother to mourn their loss.
