PEACEFULLY AWAY

DOES MARGARET RAYNOLDS PASS TO THE BEAUTIFUL HOME,

Late Tuesday Afternoon—Close of a Beautiful Life—Funeral Arrangements.

The many friends of Mrs. Margaret F. Raynolds, widow of the late John F. 
Raynolds, will be saddened to learn of her death which occurred at the family 
homestead at No. 97 South Market street at 3:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon.

Mrs. Raynolds was 79 years of age, and was probably one of the best known 
residents of Canton, having lived in this city for many years. Bhe was of a very 
retiring and unostentatious nature, and one of her last requests was that no 
unnecessary display be made at the funeral nor extended notices in the press. In 
conformity with this desire the relatives request that friends kindly omit the 
sending of flowers.

Mrs. Raynolds was born in Chambersburg, Pa.,in 1816, and was married to Mr. John 
F. Raynolds 57 years ago. Her husband died six years ago the 22nd of last month. 
Mrs. Raynolds has been quite feeble for the past few years, and gradually passed 
to her final sleep, quietly, peacefully and without pain. Sue was conscious to 
within a few moments of her death, and almost her last words were that she was 
ready to go, as the machinery had about run down.

Few women powessed the kindly, Christian spirit of Margaret Reynolds. She was a 
life-long member of the First Presbyterian Church of Croton, and, when health 
permitted, was identified, with and active in the various branches of church 
work.

Three children survive their beloved mother, Messrs. James A. Raynolds, the 
eldest, of this city; Charles A. Raynolds, of Chicago, who was present at the 
hour of death, and George F. Raynolds, of Cheboygan, Mich., who has been 
notified of the sad event. A granddaughter, Retto Rawson, has been visiting her 
grandmother for some time. A brother, Mr. W. M. Faber, of Pittsburg, and a 
sister, Mrs. Henrietta Lahm of Canon City, Colo., are the other immediate 
relatives.

The funeral will occur from the residence Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, 
interment being in Westlawn cemetery.
