Tuberculosis is given as the cause of her death, and she had been in poor health for about 20 years and had been confined to the house a large portion of that time. She was the daughter of D.C. Minturn, and was born in Ithaca, N.Y., and came to Orange in 1864. She was married to the husband who survives her 20 years ago. She had no children. Beside her husband and aged father, she is survived by a sister, Mrs. Wm. Sayers, and a brother, DeWitt Minturn. Funeral services were conducted from her late home on Sunday afternoon by Rev. Millard. Mrs. Kilmartin selected her own casket, the hymns to be sung at the funeral, the pallbearers, and made suggestions regarding other arrangements in connection with the last rites. The attendance at the funeral was quite large, a good size delegation from the K.O.T.M., of which Mr. Kilmartin is a member, L.O.T.M. and W.R.C. having been present, beside many friends and relatives.
