Death's Record.

Elinor COPELAND, wife of Fry COPELAND (sic - Leslie Fry COPELAND), died at 12:00 A. M. Tuesday, April 24, aged 25 years, 7 months and 24 days. Funeral services will take place from the family residence, 402 W. Hempstead street, at 10 o'clock tomorrow, April 26th.

Elinor SMITH was born at Bradford, Ia., August 30th, 1875 (sic - 1874). She came to Fairfield in February, 1895, and was married to Fry COPELAND March 12th, 1896.

Of all sorrows, that of the young husband bereft of his life's partner is undoubtedly the greatest. Sickness, trials, tribulations, fast and thick as they may come, are all nothing when compared with the loss of a youthful wife, in the very prime, at the very time when true happiness is but to be-begin (sic). The sorrowing husband has the sympathy of his many friends in his hour of affliction.
