Additions or Corrections to the posted obituaries

I put the obituaries up as they are sent to me. If I see an obvious typo, I will correct it. Aside from that, I leave them alone and sometimes I do not see the typos from looking at so many pages of typing at one time. If you can provide additional information or see something that needs corrected, please feel free to contact me. If an obituary has been posted without a source, it is because it was given to us that way. We are now working on a box of obituaries that were cut out of the newspaper and they are not noted with the paper name or date of publication. I am fairly certain that they are all from the local paper, yet I can not know for sure.

Sincerely,
Jan

Up until the past year Mrs. McDonald has been quite well physically. Since then she has been ailing, and at last was mercifully taken yesterday to her reward after so many years of affliction.
Deceases was 59 years of age, and leaves three children, Charles, of Chicago; Will, a young Wellsville attorney, and Miss Mary, who has for many years taken the mother’s place in the home.
Prof. McDonald went to Newburg last night and brought the remains home.
