Mrs. B. W, Corson Among Those Who Passed Away,
Mrs. B. W. Corson passed quietly away Tuesday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. L. Armstrong,
three miles north of town, from heart failure and the infirmities of old age. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Burling at the Congregational church Wednesday afternoon and a large circle of friends followed the remains to their last resting place in Grace Hill cemetery.

Charlotte Marian Bryan was born at Linden, Pa., Jan.19,1829. March 7, 1859, she was .married
to B. W. Corson. Eight children were born to them, only two of whom, W. A. Corson and Mrs.
H. L. Armstrong, are still living. Her brother, James A. Bryan, of Sioux City, who was present at
the funeral and her sister, Mrs. S. J. Bastian, of Montoursville, Pa., also survive her. She was a loving wife, an indulgent mother and very much attached to her home life. The aged husband and the surviving children have the sympathy of all in their great loss.
