Obituary - On Sunday evening, Mrs. Addie E. Fordham died at the residence of Mr. Charles E. Topping, General Superintendent of the United States Express Company, 131 East Third Street, Long Island City. Mrs. Fordham had been very sick for several months with a pulmonary trouble and it was this that resulted in her death. The deceased was born at Westhampton, Long Island, thirty-four years ago and has resided several years in Long Island City. The lady was an expert telegrapher and held a position in the employ of the Long Island Railroad, which she gave up about one year ago to accept a more lucrative position in New York. Mrs. Fordham was of a genial, pleasant turn of mind, and though modest and retiring, made many friends. She was a devoted Christian without show or ostentation and it was her practice to read a portion of the Bible every night of her life when able to do so. She was a bright conversationalist and one who admired literature of a solid, substantial kind. It was her happy faculty to be careful, painstaking and obliging, and what she did was thorough and complete every time. In comforting and caring for the sick and afflicted of her friends she was faithfulness personified and in doing kindnesses for her friends there was no selfish aims in view. In the wide circle where Mrs. Fordham was known and respected there will be a feeling of sincere sorrow at her death.
