RECENT DEATHS.
Names of Those Who Have Crossed the Dark River.

  At half past 6 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Virginia Farber, wife 
[of] Samuel Farber, of 2120 Twelfth avenue, died, her death being 
directly traceable to an attack of the grip with which she was seized 
Sunday.  At first her illness caused no alarm but Tuesday evening she 
was compelled to take her bed and sank rapidly until death ensued.  
Deceased was an estimable Christian lady and the sympathy of the 
community goes out to the family in their bereavement.  She was a 
daughter of Dr. A. S. and Martha J. Smith, deceased, and was born in 
Pattonsville, Bedford county, twenty-six years ago.  Besides her 
husband, to whom she was married eight years ago, she is survived by 
two small children, three brothers and two sisters.  The brothers and 
sisters are: G. W., C. Edward and John S. Smith, Miss E. P. Smith, of 
this city, and Mrs. M. C. Kuhn, of Carlisle.  The funeral will take 
place to-morrow at 2 p.m.  Services will be conducted at Christ's 
Reformed church, of which she was a member, by the pastor, Rev. D. S. 
Dieffenbacher.  The interment will be made in Fairview cemetery.
