"The death of Mrs. Elizabeth Julia THOMPSON, widow of George E. THOMPSON, occurred this morning at her residence, 115 York street, as the result of a paralytic stroke on Monday morning, from which she failed to regain consciousness. Although a sufferer from heart trouble, she had been in comparatively good health for some time, and the news of her illness came unexpectedly to a large circle of friends.

"Mrs. THOMPSON was the daughter of William L. and Julia C. SMEDLEY, of Morris, Litchfield county, where she was born March 31, 1843. Much of her girlhood was spent with an uncle, Ferdinand BEEBE, of East Bloomfield, NY state, from which place she attended Elmira college and where October 4, 1864, she was married to George E. THOMPSON, of New Haven. Her husband, for many years was proprietor of the New Haven Flour company, died in March 1904.

"Removing to this city after her marriage, Mrs. THOMPSON became an active worker in the Grand Avenue Congregational church. In fact, her whole life was largely devoted to religious and charitable interests, in the course of which she won herself the close friendship of a large number. After the death of her daughter, Amelia May, January 30, 1893, she organized a King's daughters circle known as the Millie Thompson Memorial Circle, in the College street church, which church she had joined after leaving Fair Haven.

The immediate object of the circle was the placing of a memorial window in Plymouth church, Chapel street and Sherman avenue, which at that time had succeeded the College street church. An equal sum of the amount raised by the circle was given by John Morgan RICHARDS, of London, a childhood friend of the mother. The window is on the Sherman avenue side of the church and shows Christ in the garden. "Besides one sister, Mrs. Amelia E. DUNNING and two brothers, Clark L. and Ferdinand B. SMEDLEY, all of this city, Mrs. THOMPSON leaves three sons, George E. & Clarence S. of this city and Paul of New York city.

trimmed with Filet lace, pearl passementerie, and rose point lace that had been used on her mother's wedding dress.

Mrs. Byron Tiffany, formerly of Bristol Center, died in Brooklyn, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. F. Knapp, on Wednesday,

and the remains were taken to Bristol Center on Saturday for interment. Mrs. Tiffany had made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Knapp for ten years past, first in Geneva and later in Brooklyn, and had enjoyed good health up to within a few weeks. She was in her 80th year. She leaves one other daughter, Mrs. L. V. Came, who resides in Fairport.

Andrew McKechnie was well known and well liked in Canandaigua, and had lived here about thirty years, during part of which time he was in partnership with his brother, S. C. McKechnie, in the firm of McKechnie Bros., book dealers. Some years ago the firm was dissolved, the store being sold to the present MacGreevey Sleght DeGraff firm. Since then Andrew had lived a retired life.

The past winter he had been at Norfolk, Va., with relatives. He returned about four weeks ago, and seemed to be in fine physical health. There have been times, however, when his relatives have noticed that he was depressed and low spirited, and less than a week ago, his brother, S.C. McKechnie, took Andrew's revolver and hid it away from him. The family endeavored to cheer him by their words of assurance and their presence, some of them being with him most of the time, but yesterday

Andrew McKechnie was born in Palmyra in December 1858, the son of Andrew and Eunice McKechnie. He resided at Palmyra for some years, and was in the brewing and malting business. Later he was an employee of the old Beals bank, in this village, and had some experience in New York City financial circles. About thirty years ago he came here. For about fifteen years he was in business with S. C. McKechnie. He was unmarried, and the only near relations are the brother, Stuart and his sister, Mrs. William S. McKechnie, both of this village.

Some years ago Mr. McKechnie's mother died, and he grieved for her, this spring his aunt, whom he greatly loved, died, and during her last illness he was constantly by her bedside. It is thought that her death greatly depressed him, and these sorrows, with the loss of money as stated, all contributed to his melancholy, for he had previously been a man of bright spirits, active, vigorous and unusually well preserved for a man his age. His genial presence and kindly nature made him many friends.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Coyle and Victor A. Miller were married by the Rev. J. T. Dougherty at St. Mary's Rectory, Wednesday evening, at six o'clock.

The house was charmingly decorated with pink sweet peas and smilax, and the bride's table at which twelve were seated, bore the same flowers. Mrs. Binks-Coleman served the supper. Mr. Miller's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alvaro Miller, of Fort Plain, were the only out of town guests. After a trip to the Adirondacks, Mr. and Mrs. Miller will reside in the lower apartment of the Brown house on Dungan Street.

He came to America in Aug 1856, and twelve years later, he bought the Litllleville farm where he had since resided and where his family was brought up. He began life in a most humble way, limited in education and finance, but rich in thrift and honesty, to which was added an abundance of good nature. He was a devoted member of the Catholic church, and when his end drew near he faced the great divide with the same composure that comes to a man who feels that he has done the best that he could for both himself and his fellow men.

His final illness was of three weeks duration, terminating with cerebral hemorrhage. His wife Ann, died two years ago last February and his surviving family consists of five sons: Daniel R., of Hopewell; John J. of Dundee, Patrick W., Frank and Martin of Shortsville. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Ann O'BRIEN of Canandaigua, and by five grandchildren: Margaret A., J. Emmett and Walter O' BRIEN of Hopewell and Laura and Frances O' BRIEN of Dundee. The funeral was held from his late home on Monday morning, with interment at Calvary cemetery in Canandaigua. (note: per 1870 census, he was predeceased by daughters Mary & Julia)

INJURIES MAY HAVE CAUSED DEATH
Patrick Meath, Canandaigua Meat Man, Dies Canandaigua, Aug. 30

Patrick Meath, who for many years has been in the meat business in Canandaigua died Saturday night at 10 o'clock at his home, in Bristol St. He was about 70 years old, and had passed most of his life in this village. The immediate cause of death was a stroke of paralysis, but it is thought this was super-induced by injuries he sustained some months ago, when a wagon in which he was riding was struck by a runaway team and he was flung forcibly from it.
Mr. Meath leaves his wife, four sons and three daughters, Bernard Meath, of Canandaigua, Mrs. John Dugan, of Rochester, James Meath, of Cleveland, Ohio, Mrs. John Martin, of Bath, Miss Mary Meath, William and Howard Meath, of Canandaigua.
