Mrs. J.H. Furtney sustained a fracture of the bone immediately above the ankle of her left foot as the result of a fall on a slippery sidewalk in North Minneapolis a week ago last Friday. She and her husband were returning from the farm near Minneapolis to the home of her daughter at 526 Girard Avenue, North Minneapolis. Mrs. Furtney carried two precious vases, one of these being an old heirloom in her family and about 275 years old, when she slipped and fell on the icy sidewalk. She managed to save the vases, but fractured the limb as a result of the fall. The broken part was set immediately and Mrs. Furtney recovered sufficiently to enable her to return home a week later. While the patient is doing very nicely under the circumstances, she will not be able to regain the use of her limb for several weeks. For several days after their return, until they were able to secure a girl, Mr. Furtney was kept busy attending to the various official duties of the home such as cooking, dish washing and so on besides caring for his business interests.

With the passing of Mrs. Furtney, the older residents are especially mindful of all the Furtney family contributed to our city in the transition period from the time we were a village and became a city. Mr. Furtney built several of our business establishments, and also several flats in our city, as well as his beautiful lakeside home. After the death of Mr. Furtney, Mrs. Furtney carried on in spite of her advanced age. She was a woman with a keen mind and also a good neighbor and friend, as well as a wife and mother. She was a member of the ladies auxiliary to the locomotive engineers.
Funeral services were held from the Berry Funeral Home Monday, August 7th at two o'clock, with Rev Higgins of Gethsemane Cathedral of Minneapolis officiating, of whose church she was a member. She was laid to rest in the city cemetery in the family plot. Her children, as well as a large number of relatives, were present for the funeral.
