Died, last week, in Minneapolis, of typhoid fever, the wife of Mr. J.H. Furtney. Mrs. Furtney was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Manchester, near Blooming Prairie, and was buried from her father's residence in a cemetery 1 1/2 miles east, on Saturday, June 11, 1881. She left one child and her husband to mourn her loss. The former she gave to her mother. Her father told the writer that she never disobeyed their command. This obedience to parents is said to be the first commandment with promise. And all through her sickness, which continued for about two months, never murmured or complained, but thought only of her child who was sick a part of the time. So remarkable in her patience, that her attendant physician wept at her death and said he never saw her like.
