EGGETT-Death of Mrs. O.H.P. Kinney-It is with great sorrow that we have to record the death of Mrs. Mary Eggett Kinney, wife of the late Hon. O.H.P.Kinney, which occurred at her residence on East Broad street at 6:19 Thursday evening, May 13, 1886. She had been in declining health for nearly two years, caused by an internal cancer, and had been obliged to keep her bed most of the time for the past eighteen months. She has been a great sufferer but has borne her afflictions without a murmur and died as she had lived, a true CHristian and beloved by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was born in London, England, April 26, 1822 and came to this country with her parents when but three years old, and early in life settled in this valley, most of her life having spent in Sheshequin, Towanda and Waverly. She was a Spriitualist of unswerving faith, of a very social disposition, a fine conversationalist, and enjoyed the company of her friends in a marked degree. In health she weighed nearly or quite two hundred pounds but the ravages of disease and long suffering had reduced her to a mere skeleton of her former self. She leaves three sons, all of whom reside at the homestead and have been with her during her long illness, ministering to her every want, making it easier for her to withstand her afflictions and cause the sands of life to move more peacefully on. The funeral will be held from the residence at 3 p.m. Sunday, Rev. Lyman C. Howe, of Fredonia, to officiate. Her remains will be laid beside those of her husband in Forest Home Cemetery.

GRAVES - Mrs. Fred Potter died at the family home Friday forenoon, March 1, 1907, at 8 o'clock, of peritonitis, after a ten days' illness.

The family have the sympathy of many friends in their bereavement. Besides her husband she leaves a little daughter, Lucille, aged 13 months, an aged father and mother, two sisters and one brother. Funeral services were held from the home Monday at 2 p.m., and were largely attended by relatives and sympathizing friends. Rev. W. F.
