Mrs. Mary Randall.

Mrs. Mary Randall died at the Fred Morti home here April 7, 1911, of heart trouble. She was born Dec. 25, 1840, and at the time of her death was 70 years, 3 mos., and 12 days of age.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Morti home, Rev. Taylor of the M.E. church officiating, burial in Bonaparte cemetery.

Mrs. Randall was an old time resident of Bonaparte and is said to have run the first loom and made the first piece of cloth ever manufactured in the old woolen mill here.

We desire to thank the friends for their assistance during the illness of Mrs. Randall and for their many acts of kindness during the funeral.
