MRS. JOSIAH WOLLAM

Mrs. Josiah Wollam died at her home in this city Sunday evening, at 6 o'clock, after a lingering illness of cancer of the liver, and the departure of this loving spirit leaves gloom in the home and a large circle of mourning friends.

Her age was 67 years, the greater part of the long life being spent in the county, and here the vacant tenement will rest until the end, burial taking place in the Blackledge cemetery yesterday, after an impressive ceremony conducted by Rev. McQueen at Mt. Sterling at 2 p. m.

The husband, Josiah Wollam, and three children of the immediate family are left to mourn: Mrs. O. D. Park, E. A. and Clifford Wollam, all of this county.

Obituary next week.
