Childs, L. B. Mrs.

She Passed Away Last Night at Home of Her Daughter. Mrs. L. B. Childs of one and one-half miles south west of Hutchinson, passed away last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ed. J. Canatsey, 212 Fifth Avenue East. Mrs. Childs underwent an operation three weeks ago, and since which she had been cared for at her daughter's home, where her husband and son have been with her constantly. She was 70 years of age, having been born Oct. 9, 1842 in Mercer County, Illinois, where she grew to womanhood. She was married to Lansing B. Childs, June 2, 1861. Three children blessed this union, Stephen, who died 14 years ago, Norman L., who with his family lives on his farm adjoining his father's home, one and one-half miles south west of this city, and the only daughter, Mrs. Eva Canatsey. The latter has been with her mother constantly from the beginning of her illness and everything that love could do has been done. Mrs, Childs was a home woman and her life was given to helping others as she could from her own home. She was ready and glad to go, her only regret was leaving the husband of her youth with whom she had spent 51 happy years. She made all the plans for her funeral and passed peacefully away surrounded by her loved ones, just as she wished the end might be. Her faith in God's wisdom and mercy sustained her to the end. The funeral was held at 3:30 this afternoon from the home of her daughter, Rev. W. B. Stevens of South Hutchinson M. E. Church officiating. Mr. Childs and family have the sympathy of many friends in this great sorrow.

Hall, Mary ( Baily )

Yesterday morning the sad intelligence was passed from one to another that Mrs. J. B. Hall had passed away during the early morning hours. Mrs. Hall was in apparently good health for a woman of her years, and there was nothing to indicate that her work on earth was finished. During the night she was taken suddenly ill; Dr. Koons and Hull were summoned, but human skill was unavailing, and death occurred about 12:30 0'clock in the morning. Mary Baily was born in Erie, PA., on May 5, 1839, and died in Nickerson, Kansas July 2, 1913, aged 74 years, 1 month and 27 days. She was married to J. B. Hall on May 17, 1857, and for fifty-six years she has been a faithful wife and mother, whose daily life was a continued source of help and inspiration to those to whom she ministered, and also to those who had the good fortune to be among her acquaintances. Mr. and Mrs. Hall have lived in Nickerson since 1885. To them were born six children, three of whom survive her. They are Claud E. Hall of Nickerson, Mrs. M. J. Collins of Easton, Kansas and T. M. Hall of Oakland, California. Only a couple of weeks ago we announced the death of Mrs. Claud Hall. In so short a time have both these wives and mothers been taken away. The funeral will be held at the house this afternoon at 2:30 and the services will be conducted by Rev. Martin of the Congregational Church.
