FUNERAL OF MRS. STONER.

  The funeral of Mrs. Lydia Stoner, relict of the late John Stoner, 
took place yesterday from the Methodist church.  The deceased was over 
80 years of age, and was well known throughout the Cove as one of the 
most charitable and hospitable ladies within its borders.  More than 
fifty years ago she connected herself with that branch of the Christian 
church known as the River Brethren, and has ever since lived a 
blameless life, endearing herself to all with whom she came in contact 
by her unassuming Christian manners.  Her remains were followed to the 
grave by an immense concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.  The 
services were conducted by Revs. Andrew Bassler, John and Abraham 
Bowers, the following gentlemen acting as pall bearers: David Wolfe, 
James Gibboney, Alexander Bobb, E. Delozir [sic], F. M. Bloom, David 
Burket.
