   Last Saturday Mrs. David Griffith died
leaving a husband and seven small children
The funeral ceremonies were conducted by the 
Daughters of Rebecca of which order she was
a member. The lodges of Odd Fellows and Knights
of Pythias followed to the grave; also most 
of our citizens. Poor "Davy" has the sympathy
of every one.

   Under the dispensation of our Almighty Father
we are called upon to mourn the loss of our 
esteemed sister, Margaret Thomas Griffith, who 
was born at Millstred, Aberdare, Glamorganshire,
South Wales, on the 20th day of August, 1853, and
died at her residence in Scranton on the 20th day
of August, 1853, and died at her residence in
Scranton on the 20th day of this month and year.
Sister Griffith attained the degree of daughter 
of Rebekah on June 9th 1885 and has been a
respected and esteemed member throughout. She 
has also been a life-long member of the Congre-
gational church and throughout her severe illness
maintained the cheerful and hopeful heart of a
true christian. The loss to her husband and 
family cannot be repaird and the vacancy in our
order is not likely soon to be filled. We there-
fore report the following:
   RESOLVED, That we have received with deep
regret the announcement of the death of our
beloved sister, Margaret Griffith.
   RESOLVED, That in her uniform kindness of 
heart and Christian disposition, she was a noble
exemplification of the teachings of our Order.
   RESOLVED, That as a mark of respect to our
deceased sister, the Lodge room be draped in 
mourning for thirty days.
   RESOLVED, That we hereby express our kindest
sympathy to her bereaved husband an family in
this their great and sad bereavement.
   RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolutions
under the seal of the Lodge be delivered by
the secretary to our esteemed brother, David
Griffith.
   RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolution be
printed in the OSAGE CITY FREE PRESS, Carbondale
Calender and Burlingame Chronicle.
                       MRS. M. A. ROSS,
                       MRS. JANE CHAPMAN,
