The death of Mrs. A. W. Day, which occurred at her home in this city Sunday evening, was a shock to our citizens who were not aware of the fact that she was dangerously ill. Mrs. Day has been in poor health for a number of years and Sunday she complained of severe pains in the region of the heart. Medical assistance and her children were summoned, but in spite of all earthly help she passed away at 8:30 p.m. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock at the M. E. church, Rev. T. H. Sheckler delivering an eloquent discourse and remains were laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery.

The remainder of Mrs. Day’s life was spent in this city and on a farm in Iowa township. On Feb. 10, 1887, her husband died and she was left with two children. S. E. Day, and Mrs. J. L.
