DIED. At her home near Postville, Sept. 30th, 1890; Mrs. Lucinda Estell DURNO, in the 53rd year of her age. She was a member of the Congregational church of this place and professed a lively faith in christianity. She was kind and generous and tried to be true to all but herself. Long a patient sufferer from an incurable malady, she bore it all with patience and fortitude, and at length amid the gorgeous splender of an autumnal morning her weary spirit took its flight. Rev. J. O. THRUSH in a short sympathetic discourse said it was better for us all to live under the impression and hope of immortality, because it inspired and sustained us in the hour of trial and adversity.

Card of thanks. To all the dear friends who helped in our time of bereavement, we extend our warmest thanks. John DURNO and family, Mrs. D. G. ESTELL.
