The community was again saddened last Friday morning by the death of Mrs. Cornelia Nye, which occurred Thursday night. Mrs. Nye had long been a sufferer and had been steadily failing for nearly a year, having been confined to her bed for several months past. During her residence here she had endeared herself to the hearts of all. The funeral services were held at the S. D. B. church, Saturday, conducted by Rev. G. J. Crandall, assisted by Rev. L. A. Platts, of Milton.
Mrs. Cornelia P. Sweet, widow of Eli S. Nye, was born in Alfred, N. Y., 1833, and died in Milton Junction, Wis., Feb. 12, 1903. Sister Nye made a public profession in Jesus Christ in the ordinance of baptism in April, 1863, during an extensive revival of religion in the church at Rock River, Wis., but did nit unite with any church until last April, when she became a member of the Seventh Day Baptist church of Milton Junction, Wisconsin. Her christian life has been one of good work, and she died trusting only in the merits of her Savior. She was married to Mr. Nye, Dec. 23, 1852 and they
spent most of their married life in Wisconsin and Minnesota. G. J. C.
