Hospital on Friday evening of Mrs. Emma DAWSON, wife of Mr. John
Dawson. The deceased was fifty-eight years of age and although she had
been stricken with pneumonia a short time ago her death came as a shock
to members of the family and friends. She was a woman of kindly

permitted was interested in several organizations of church life. She
leaves to mourn her passing, besides her husband, her aged father, and
two sons, Roy and Bertram residing in New York, also one sister, Mrs.

favorite hymns of the deceased. Interment was made in Hillside Cemetery.
