MINES NOTES.

  We are called upon to chronicle the sudden death of a near neighbor 
and friend in the person of Mrs. Lydia Ginter, wife of Charles Ginter, 
of this place.  It is very true in the midst of life we are in death.  
Mrs. Ginter had been ailing for some time, but not thought to be 
serious until about three weeks ago when she was taken ill with what 
was thought to be neuralgia but turned to menetis of the brain.  She 
was unconscious from Tuesday up till the time of her death, which 
occurred on Friday night about 9 o'clock, when her spirit fled to the 
God who gave it.  She leaves to mourn her loss as a loving wife, mother 
and sister, a husband and five children, one son and four daughters, 
the eldest being 14 and the youngest 4 years old; also her mother, four 
brothers and three sisters who have the sympathy of the entire 
community.  Mrs. Ginter was aged 33 years.  The funeral took place on 
Sunday at 2 o'clock.  Services were held at the house.  A few brief 
remarks were made by Thomas Bookhamer after which the Knights of the 
Golden Eagle took charge of the funeral.  The remains were laid to rest 
at Royer's cemetery.  Mr. Ginter desires to return his heartfelt and 
sincere thanks to the neighbors and ladies who so kindly aided and 
assisted him during the sickness and death of his wife; also to J. C. 
Isenberg, superintendent for his kindness toward him.
