The friends of Mrs. Edwin Rutty were pained and surprised yeseterday to
learn of her death. She passed away at about 1:30 in the morning. For
several years she had been an invalid, but had not been very sick until the
last few days, and even then the end was not expected so soon.

Emma J. Lewis was born in the town of Brooklyn, May 11, 1842. Her early
life was spent on a farm on Jug Prairie with her mother, her father having
died when she was three years old. She was married to Edwin W. Rutty,
February 17, 1875. They spent the first year of their married life with
Mrs. Rutty's mother, afterwards living in Dayton and in Oregon. In 1885 Mr.
and Mrs. Rutty moved back to the childhood home of Mrs. Rutty, where they
lived until 1894 when they moved to Brooklyn, where they lived until about
three years ago when they came to Evansville, to make their home with their
daughter, Mrs. A. H. Devine and family.

Besides many friends and other relatives she leaves her husband, one
daughter, Mrs. A. H. Devine, one grandson, and a brother, Anza Lewis of
Exeter, Wis. She has been a faithful wife, a good mother. She was a home
body, and will be greatly missed by those of her own household. She was a
member of the Twentieth Century club of Brooklyn.

The funeral will be conducted by Mr. D. Quincy Grabill at the home on North
Madison street, tomorrow, Friday morning at ten o'clock. The burial will be
in Maple Hill cemetery.
