The funeral of Miss Lizzie Meservey took place last Saturday forenoon from the residence of Mrs. Lottie Meservey with whom she made her home. Mrs. M. J. Bonney of this city gave a very consoling discourse along the line of spiritualistic belief in which the deceased was a firm believer. To her death meant only a pleasant change - the entrance into a more perfect state of existence - she passed painlessly into the eternal rest. Her last days were made more cheerful by the kind offices of thoughtful relatives and friends.
