Mrs. Mary A Day, an estimable old lady who had lived in Virginia for a great many years,
died at her home in this city yesterday. Her death was caused by diabetes. She had been
ailing about a year and a half, but the illness that caused her death was only of 5 days
duration. Mrs. Day had a great many friends especially among old residents, who are
deeply grieved by her death. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Alex Winsmore of Virginia and
Mrs. Dr. S.A. Chapman of Bishop, Cal.

Mrs. Chapman as being of Candelaria, Nevada and one says Bishop, Calif)

Funeral of Mrs. Day.
The funeral of Mrs. Mary A. Day took place from the Methodist Church yesterday
afternoon at 1 o'clock. Funeral services were held by the Rev. E.H. Parkinson over
the remains at the church and were listened to by friends and relatives of the deceased.
At their conclusion the remains were taken to the cemetery north of town and interred.
Quite a large number of freinds of the deceased lady attended the funeral and witnessed
the last rites at the grave.
