Death of Mrs. Mittie Morley-Slater.
In another column is the announcement of the death of this esteemed young woman, who nearly all her life has lived here, having been born in Kalamazoo. August 15, 1878, she was married, and has lived in he r father's house most of the time, with the exception of three months housekeeping at Grand Haven (where she and her husband lived a year ago last summer) and a couple of months on Spring street. Two children survive her, both boys, one more than two years old, the other a little more than three months. Symptoms of a lung difficulty appeared last October, but this was finally apparently overcome. Since the birth of her last child she has been unable to rally, but has suffered greatly from nervous prostration growing daily weaker. She died peacefully, almost like one going to sleep. The sympathy of a great number of friends is extended to the bereaved family. The funeral will be held at St. John's church Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock. Friends are invited.
