DIED
Sunday, April 28th at 4 a.m. Mrs. Jennie Litsinger, wife of Mr. Charles Litzinger of this city, aged 28 years.
The funeral took place Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the residence of a family on Morton street and was largely attended by the friends of the family and the members of the Order of Good Templars, of which order deceased was a worthy member. The funeral sermon at the residence was preached by Rev. Mr. Kone, of the Baptist Church, after which the coffin was placed in the hearse by the pall bearers - members of the order of Good Templars - and the funeral procession wended its way to the cemetery, where after a short address by Rev. Mr. Kone, the body was consigned to mother earth.
The bereaved husband and the motherless babes have our sincere sympathy.
