MRS. CORA BUDLONG DIES SUDDENLY

For several years Mrs. Cora Budlong has been in rather poor health. During
the past few weeks she has been unable to be at her work, and during the
latter part of the time had to be cared for by friends. But it was not
expected that the end would come for some time. She passed away very
suddenly Sunday forenoon at her home on South Madison Street.

Her maiden name was Cora Eugenia Smith. She was born in Norway, New York,
July 24, 1847. She was married to John W. Budlong at West Schuyler on
August 18, 1863. She was the mother of two children, Alma, who died in
infancy, and Warren Smith Budlong now residing in Oakland, Cal. For the
past forty years she has been a resident of Evansville. She was a member of
the Methodist Episcopal church and of the order of the Eastern Star. Those
who knew her well praise her generousity and kindness. She was at all times
thoughtful of those in her employ in her home, as well as in the store,
when she was engaged in business.

The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon in the Methodist Episcopal church,
with the pastor, the Rev. C. E. Coon officiating. The burial was in Maple
Hill cemetery.

Her son was unable to reach here but sent the following telegram to V. C.
Holmes: "Am grieved to hear of mother's death. Words fail to express my
gratitude for those who have so kindly cared for her." W. S. Budlong.
