The funeral of Mr. Sidney Turner, of Livonia Station, is to be held at his late residence. His age was nearly 60 years.
He was a good man and will be greatly missed in the community where he lived.
May we all profit by these admonitory lessons.

Livonia has lost, by the death last Saturday of Mrs. Amanda Weller Turner, another of its few remaining residents whose single lives reach back over more than two-thirds of the years since its first settlement.
Her father, Hiram Weller, brought his family, drawn by an ox team, from his native state of Connecticut, during the first decade of the last century, to the eastern part of Livonia and built the house in which Mrs. Turner was born and grew to womanhood, and in which she died, now the home of Josiah Short, who married her sister, now deceased, in whose family Mrs. Turner has lived since the death of her husband, who was one of the early permanent residents of Livonia village.
Mrs. Amanda Weller Turner, widow of Sidney Turner, died last Saturday, at the age of 84. Mrs. Turner had been sick for a long time, yet retained her faculties to the last.
Her father brought his family to the town of Livonia from Connecticut, and was one of the first settlers. Mrs. Turner, with the exception of a few years spent in this village, always lived in the house where she died.
Mrs. Turner was a sister of the late Mrs. Josiah Short, and was a most estimable lady. The funeral was held Monday afternoon, the Rev. Mr. St. John of Hemlock officiating.
