PARTRIDGE, SMITH, COOPER Miss Mary J. PARTRIDGE aged 80 years, a well-known and lifelong resident of this locality, died Friday evening, May 29, at the home of her sister, Mrs. John RUSSELL, who resides near the old PARTRIDGE homestead at Tyre, five miles north of here. She was born on the farm where her death occurred, and where she had lived all her life, except for fourteen years that she resided in McDonald. She was long a member of the First Presbyterian Church of McDonald. Besides the sister, Mrs. RUSSELL, she leaves one brother, William PARTRIDGE of Chicago. The funeral services were held at the RUSSELL home Monday morning at 11 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. J. P. JORDAN of McDonald and the Rev. W. J. SNYDER of Imperial. The interment was in the Valley cemetery at Imperial. A colored man was killed on the Wabash railroad near George Station Sunday morning and was brought to McDonald, through whose efforts he was later identified as Edward SMITH, known by some as "Rabbit." Interment was made Monday in Hilldale cemetery. John COOPER, who makes his home with his daughter, Mrs. D. C. BROWN in Fourth street, was called to Eldersville on Tuesday by the death of his brother, Henry C. COOPER, a retired merchant of that place. The deceased is survived by his widow. He was the owner of considerable property and had in his possession the farm of his grandfather, James PATTERSON, containing 191 acres. This farm had been in the family since 1797.
