The funeral will take place to-morrow morning, leaving the Beckwith farm at 9 a.m. Services at Maplewood cemetery at 11:30.

All friends are requested to meet with the bereaved family at the cemetery to pay last respects to one who was always ready to assist the weak and needy. The husband and three children have the sympathy of friends in this dark hour of bereavement.

The funeral of the late Mrs. S.C. Tannyhill took place Tuesday at Maplewood cemetery, attended by a large concourse of sympathizing friends. Services were conducted under the auspices of W.R.C. 191, in a beautiful and impressive manner; also, Rev. Harkness, of Grace M.E. church, delivered a short but impressive discourse, especially so when referred to the three little orphans who have the sympathy of a host of friends in this their darkest hour, when they laid their beloved mother beside their father.
