SARAH DURLAND DIES ON WEDNESDAY Sarah Jane Durland, of Monticello, died on Wednesday at two o'clock, surrounded by her children. Five days before her death she had gone to bed suffering from a valvular at- tack of the heart and did not recov- er. Wednesday morning she was feeling much improved and was en- joying the anticipation of eating din- ner at the table with several of her children, when without a moment's warning of her impending death, she gasped for breath, threw up her hands, and died in a moment. Such is the uncertainties of life. Mrs. Durland was born in the town of Thompson Nov. 20, 1849, and was the daughter of David Rumsey and Mary J. Palmer Rumsey, who pre- deceased their daughter several years ago. On Feby. 28, 1867, she mar- ried Samuel Durland, a veteran of the Civil War, who had loyally and gallantly defended the flag on several battle fields of the South. The Rev. E. H. Fowler, who was called the marrying parson, performed the cer- emony. Together they made their home on the Durland farm and there they eventually gathered about them a family of boys and girls who have made themselves an honor to^ any parents. But ten years ago death broke up their happy home by taking its head, and Mrs. Durland became a disconsolate^^wfdow. She has since lived W/fth her ^on Wesley G. Durlaxrd, at Monticellb. Here she endeared herself to church and so-1 cial circles and soon, was called' "Mother Durland" by aloving com- munity. She belonged to Several or- ganizations, every one of tliem with a purpose, to do good. The Method- ist Episcopal Church was her first thought and the other organizations were after considerations. Later she became a member of the Ladies' Aid, the Home Mission, the Foreign Mis- sion and the W. C. T. U. Societies, and each society loved her for her good works. x The children who survive are: Mrs. G. B. Witherell, of Nutley,,N. J.; Mrs. Ella Millspaugh, of Masten Lake. N. Y.; Mrs. P. H. Kreuder. Jersey City, N. J.; Leon S. Durland, Jersey City, N. J.; Frederick W. Durland and Wesfey G. Durland, Monticello, N. Y. One sister, Mrs. Nancy Curtiss, of Ellenville, is the only surviving member of her fath- er's family. The funeral will be held on Satur- day at 1.30 o'clock, the Rev. Osmon P. Hoyt, her pastor, officiating and interment will be in St. John's Cem etery. 1 RUBIN BROTHERS | ANNOUNCEMENT | Because of the fire in our Si ore and Stock Rooms in I J;he Cohen Building, early Tuesday morning we have bean forced to move quickly to the Morris Building on g We-.t Broadway.

MRS. SARAH DURLAND DIES ON WEDNESDAY

Sarah Jane Durland, of Monticello, died on Wednesday at two o'clock, surrounded by her children. Five days before her death she had gone to bed suffering from a valvular at­tack of the heart and did not recov­er. Wednesday morning she was feeling much improved and was en­joying the anticipation of eating din­ner at the table with several of her children, when without a moment's warning of her impending death, she gasped for breath, threw up her hands, and died in a moment. Such is the uncertainties of life.

Mrs. Durland was born in the town of Thompson Nov. 20, 1849, and was the daughter of David Rumsey and Mary J. Palmer Rumsey, who pre­deceased their daughter several years ago. On Feby. 28, 1867, she mar­ried Samuel Durland, a veteran of the Civil War, who had loyally and gallantly defended the flag on several battle fields of the South. The Rev. E. H. Fowler, who was called the marrying parson, performed the cer­emony. Together they made their home on the Durland farm and there they eventually gathered about them a family of boys and girls who have made themselves an honor to^ any parents. But ten years ago death broke up their happy home by taking its head, and Mrs. Durland became a disconsolate^^wfdow. She has since lived W/fth her ^on Wesley G. Durlaxrd, a t Monticellb. Here she endeared herself to church and so-1 cial circles and soon, was called' "Mother Durland" by a l o v i n g com­munity. She belonged to Several or­ganizations, every one of tliem with a purpose, to do good. The Method­ist Episcopal Church was her first thought and the other organizations were after considerations. Later she became a member of the Ladies' Aid, the Home Mission, the Foreign Mis­sion and the W. C. T. U. Societies, and each society loved her for her good works. x

The children who survive a re : Mrs. G. B. Witherell, of Nutley, ,N. J . ; Mrs. Ella Millspaugh, of Masten Lake. N. Y.; Mrs. P. H. Kreuder. Jersey City, N. J. ; Leon S. Durland, Jersey City, N. J.; Frederick W. Durland and Wesfey G. Durland, Monticello, N. Y. One sister, Mrs. Nancy Curtiss, of Ellenville, is the only surviving member of her fath­er 's family.

The funeral will be held on Satur­day at 1.30 o'clock, the Rev. Osmon P. Hoyt, her pastor, officiating and interment will be in St. John's Cem etery.

Made-Over Bush Nut Can Be Easily Opened

For many years the delicious bush nut of Australia, known variously as the Australian, Queensland and polar nut, has baffled horticulturists. I t had a rare and delicate flavor, was a food for an epicure, but its shell was about the hardest known to mankind,

Waldron, who lives on the south coast of New South Wales, has produced a thin-shelled bush n u t Several plant gen­erations have demonstrated the suc­cess of the new nut, according to the Queensland government botanist and the director of fruit culture, who in­spected the Waldron farm.

The made-over bush nut is said to retain the flavor and the indestructi­ble shell has be^n replaced by one that may be opened with reasonable facility.—Detroit News.
