OBITUARY.
Florence E. CANDEE was born in Sylvania, Ohio, April 28, 1852. For the last year and a half she had been a sufferer from that fell destroyer consumption and on the morning of April 29th, at the home of her sister, in Minneapolis, the silken cord was loosened ad she passed without suffering into that sleep that knows no waking. She bore her sufferings with great patience, always resigned to the will of God. Her remains were brought to Luana for interment and on Sunday morning last, after a short and impressive service by Rev. BERRY, her remains were laid to rest by loving hands in the Luana cemetery to await the resurrection.

Mrs. A.F. VanGORDER and Rodger CANDEE, of Minneapolis, came down to attend the funeral of their sister, Miss Florence CANDEE. Eugene SIDDELL of that city, also came with them.
