W.G. Fordham, Esq., of Wyoming, a leading business man and an esteemed citizen of that town, performed on New Years the last sad rites, that consigned his wife to her last resting. Mrs. Fordham had been for several years the victim of a mild though hopeless form of insanity, the result of intense grief at the loss of a loved child and her mother in swift succession. During all the years of her intellectual helplessness, her husband has cared for her with the loyalty and true-heartedness of a true man, and the tenderness of a parent. Universally respected by all who know him, Mr. Fordham has the undivided, heartfelt sympathy of a wide circle of friends.
