NOURIGAT, BERRY, CROOKS



Mrs. Mary NOURIGAT, aged 48 years, wife of Fred NOURIGAT, died
about 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, January 26, at her home in Midway. The
funeral was held Thursday afternoon at her late home in Midway. The Rev.
Dr. W. D. IRONS conducted the services. Interment in Robinson's Run
cemetery. The daughter of Mrs. Fred MITCHELL of McDonald, Mrs. NOURIGAT was
born in France and came to this country when a child. For many years she
lived in McDonald, but of late had made her home in Midway. Besides the
parents and husband, four sons and five daughters survive.

Mr. and Mrs. Will HUNTER attended the funeral of the latter's
aunt, Mrs. Margaret STURGEON BERRY, at Florence on Saturday. Mrs. BERRY was
92 years old.



The funeral of Martha Dolores CROOKS, oldest daughter of Don and
Olive CARLISLE CROOKS, was held at their home on Sabbath. She died Friday,
January 22. For only five and one-half years this little June bud had
bloomed in our narrow valley. Yet doubtlessly she had fulfilled her earthly
mission, and passed from us as untroubled and unafraid as if she had been
all through life. Her pastor in his discourse spoke of children as "magnets
which draw us upward away from the cares and temptations of earth." The
Rev. Mr. JAMISON added strength to this idea by his beautiful metaphor of
the shepherd who, having failed to drive his flock over a stream, took up a
lamb in his arms, the mother sheep followed him closely, then the whole
flock passed through the water safely to the other shore.

The Rev. Mr. SNYDER and Rev. Mr. JAMISON of Sheraden conducted
the services and the Valley choir sand "God be with you till we meet again."
There remain, besides the parents two small sisters, Helen and Janet.
