Standiford is Called By Death Saturday Evening After Long Illness Funeral Services Were Held This Afternoon From the Baptist Church. Death claimed Mrs. Charles A. Standiford of this city Saturday evening at six-ten o'clock after a long illness from cancer of the liver. Mrs. Standiford had been in poor health for a number of years and during this time her suffering was very great. Cancer of the liver finally set in which gradually resulted in her death. Mrs. Charles Standiford was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Steven Merica of Van Wert and was born in that city on the 5th day of February, 1868. She lived in and around Van Wert up until a few years ago when her husband and children moved to this city and Mr. Standiford secured employment in the Schlickman feed yard. The deceased was a most lovable lady and was only 46 years, 5 months and 20 days old. Her presence within the family circle will be greatly missed and the happy circle will be broken up without her. She is survived by eight children, Mrs. Olive Schifferly, Clyde, Oren, Cario, Iva, Paris and Harold Standiford of this city and Merl of Van Buren. The funeral services were held this afternoon at one thirty o'clock from the Baptist church, the Rev. Hamilton of Wren officiating. Burial was made in the Maplewood Cemetery.
