Feagle 's family, of Utopia, attend ed the funeral of Miss Bobb. Our city was shocked on Satur day morning when Miss Marie Bobb 's death was announced. Miss Bobb had been seriously ill for three weeks with peritonitis. Though her end was untimely, it was not unexpected, as she had suffered intensely from the first. During the holidays she went to Wilmington to visit a very dear friend, Mrs. Shad, and while there became so ill that she longed for home~ and came home despite her feelings All that medical science and loving friends had to offer was done for her. but to no avail. Though her early death is seemingly past finite comn prehension, there is comfort in the fact that her useful life here has but opened into a fuller and more glor ious sphere above. Just one year and five days ago her mother had preceded her to the bright beyond. In the meantime she had filled the place thus made va cant, most acceptably, taking care of Mvr father, and her sister and broth ers. Miss Bobb was a young lady of many sterling qualities. and splendid busines ability. She had many friends all over the State. As to h.er love and esteem at home it was strongly at tested by the large coneourse,o or rowing friends who attended thre sad services and hid The nev: and earthy mound above her by myxriads of viol ets and carnations. The services were conducted by the pastor. Rev. Mr. Kreps, who spoke beautifully and feelingly from Jer. 15:9. "Her sun has gone down while it was yet day.'' She is survived by her father, Mr. Frank Bobb, and sister, Miss Ger frude, and brothers. Messrs. Olin Bobb and S. J1. Kcdhn. We extend our deep sympathy to all these. The Hook. Punch.
