MRS. W. N. BISHOP.

  At her home, 55 Washington avenue, at 9.30 o'clock last night, Mrs. 
W. N. Bishop died after a lingering illness from an affection of the 
stomach.  She was aged 50 years and is survived by her husband and two 
daughters - Misses Dorothy and Edna.  While her sufferings were many 
she bore them all with patient resignation, awaiting with composure the 
summons which finally relieved her from all pain.  She was a devoted 
wife and a kind neighbor, and leaves many sorrowing friends.  The 
funeral arrangements will be announced later.
