MRS. GEO ENGLISH PASSES TO REST ----

Mattie E. English, wife of George English, died at the family residence in this city Sunday after a short illness. The funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at the Methodist Episcopal church south by Rev. Moore, after which interment took place in the local cemetery. The deceased was born October 26, 1870, and had resided with her husband on the coast and at Redwood valley moving to this city a few years ago.
Besides the bereaved husband five daughters survive her, the eldest being Mrs. Elmer Gibson. The others are attending high and grammar schools and their classes each presented beautiful floral pieces. The tribute of flowers of the mourning friends attested the esteem in which the deceased was held.
Mrs. Bona Cleveland, sister of the deceased, and son Frank of Modesto and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cummings of Willits were among the relatives who attended the funeral from a distance.

DEATH TAKES AWAY MRS. GEO. ENGLISH ---

Mrs. Mattie E. English, wife of Geo. W. English, departed this life at her home in Ukiah, last Sunday morning, March 12th 1911. Mrs. English, whose maiden name was Mattie E. Toney, was born at Willits, in this Country, on October 26th, 1870, and was, therefore, at the time of her death in her forty-first year. She was married March 17, 1889, to Geo. W. English who, with their five daughters, is left to mourn the loss of a loving and devoted wife and mother.
Besides her immediate family, Mrs. English leaves a sister, Mrs. N. B. Cleveland, formerly of this place but now residing at Modesto, and a number of brothers, who with a host of friends, mourn her apparently untimely departure. She will be missed, not only by the members of her family, but also by the many friends to whom she had endeared herself by her pure life and unselfish devotion to duty.
Mrs. English was a grand-daughter of "Father Cox," the distinguished pioneer Methodist preacher on this coast, and was herself a faithful member of the Methodist Church, South, at this place, and a more devoted wife and mother, a more loveable Christian character never lived among us.
The funeral services were held at the M. E. Church, South, at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon and a large circle of friends and acquaintances were present to pay a last tribute of respect, and as a token of esteem for the departed and of sympathy for the bereaved many beautiful floral offerings were made.
The Dispatch joins the many friends in extending sympathy to the stricken family.
