DIGGS. Funeral will take place THIS (Sunday) AFTERNOON at 3 o'clock from Chestnut Street M.E. Church. Please omit flowers. *************** Mrs. Diggs, the estimable wife of our townsman, Mr. Isaac Diggs, died Friday night at 12 o'clock. For several days this lady calmly awaited the summons with a composure typical of her beautiful life, which was richly adorned by Christian virtues. She was possessed of Christian and womanly traits which endeared her to all who enjoyed the pleasure of her acquaintance and ever displayed towards her loved ones a mother's affection, a wife's devotion. Her faith in God she maintained faithfully to the end. Always prompt in the discharge of her secular, but more especially her religious duties, her death will be sadly felt. Her funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the Methodist Church, of which she was a devoted member.
