Mrs. Orilla Clark Whitney, widow of the late Russell J. Whitney, of Maple 
Rapids, died at the home of her brother, L. J. Clark, in Danby, last Thursday 
morning, after an illness with Bright’s disease.  Funeral services were held at

before her several years ago.

Mrs. Whitney is survived by two children, who are:  George Whitney, of Maple 
Rapids, and Mrs. Jennie Mosher, of St. Johns.  She also leaves two brothers and 
one sister to mourn her demise, Lyman J. Clark, of Danby, Ira A. Clarke, of 
Mulliken, and Mary J. Crowley, of Danby.
