Our people were shocked yesterday morning to hear of the sudden death of Mrs. Mary Huntting, who passed away at one o’clock after only a few hour’s illness. She had been troubled for some time with hardening of the arteries, but the evening before her death was feeling better and more cheerful than usual. Arrangements have not yet been completed for the funeral awaiting the arrival of her son Frank.
Mrs. Huntting was one of the old residents of the town and had endeared herself to a wide circle of friends who will sincerely mourn her loss, and sincerely sympathize with her sons and their families in their great loss.

OBITUARY.
HUNTTING.
Mary Thomas was born at Eagle, Wis., Sept. 10, 1840.
She was married to Benjamin Huntting Jan. 26, 1866 at the home of her parents at Eagle. They came to Cresco the same year stopping for brief periods on the way at McGregor, Postville and Conover. They lived in Cresco during their entire married life, establishing their home the same year the railroad was built into the town.
Mr. Huntting passed away July 7, 1896. Two daughters also preceded the mother in death, Mary Louise an Alice E. She is survived by two sons, William T. and Frank F.
She fell asleep in death early Thursday morning May 9th, 1918, in the same home where she had lived for nearly a half century.
She was a faithful wife, a true mother, and a loyal neighbor and friends. For many years she has been a member of the Congreyational{sic} Church and actively devoted to its highest interests; a portion of this time serving with sincere devotion as one of the deaconesses. She was of modest retiring nature, yet she shared in the life of the best movements in the community. The care of her home and loved ones was her delight.
