Mrs. Elizabeth Falconer
Mrs Elizabeth Falconer died in Douglas in the home of her daughter, Mrs. L.W. McDonald, July 20th, 1918.
Though in failing health for some time, the immediate cause of her death was a fall one week ago, caused by a slight stroke, resulting in internal injuries from which she never rallied.

Elizabeth Caithness was born in Kirkwall, Scotland, March 29th, 1840. She was one of seven children who came to Quebec with their parents in 1853; five weeks and four days being consumed in making the voyage. Later the family moved to Grand Haven Michigan, where her parents are buried.

Mrs Falconer was married Dec 27th 1866, in Allegan, to Mr. George Miller of Canada. To this union three children were born, Jennie the wife of L.W. McDonald; Robert C., who died in 1911; and Frank J., of Dallas, Texas. Mr. Miller died in February, 1875.

October 19th, 1880, she was united in marriage to Mr. Thomas Falconer of Saugatuck whom she survived many years.

Mrs. Falconer was possessed of a rare Christian character. She had a strong and radiant faith in God and His goodness, and was ever happy in the consciousness of peace, through her trust in Him. Her influence will long be felt by those who knew her but to love her - for she wove her life into the lives of her friends. As her pastor so beautifully expressed it "She accepted life as she found it and made it Immortal." She is survived by two children and five grandchildren.

Elizabeth married George Miller on 27 Dec 1866 in Allegan, Allegan County, Michigan, United States. George (son of John Miller and Margaret Blair) was born on 18 Sep 1837 in Tay Valley Twp (Bathurst), Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was christened on 24 Sep 1837 in St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Perth, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died in Feb 1875 in Hastings County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Ontario, Canada.

TVA Engineer Killed in Arkansas Accident
Drowns When Auto Plunges Off St. Francis River Bridge
(Special to the Commercial Appeal)
Wynne, Arkansas, Dec. 26
Ray M. Miller, 34, an engineer connected with the Tennessee Valley Authority, ws killed in an accident near here this orning when the car he was driving plunged off the St. Francis River bridge on Highway 64.

His brother-in-law, Elmer Robinson, of Wynne, who ws with Mr. Miller, escaped uninjured. The two men had started on a duck hunting expedition, an had been gone from the home only a few minutes when the accident occurred.

According to reports, the car skidded on the wet runways of the narrow bridge and pllunged into the river. Although the auto was in only two feet of water, Mr. Miller's head was submerged and it is believed that he drowned while unconscious from the shok of the crash.

Mr and Mrs Miller came to Wynne a few days ago from Guntersville, Ala., to spend the Christmas holidays in the home of Mrs. Miller's sister, Mrs. H.J. Barwick.

Mr. Miller during recent months had been working as engineer on a bridge being constructed by the TVA at Guntersville, and prior to that time worked on the Norris Dam at Norris, Tenn. He had been notified to report for work as head engineer on a new TVA bridte at Chattanooga, Jan. 15.

A native of Kansas, he spent part of his youth in San Antonio, Texas and studied engineering at the University of Kansas. For several years he was located at Wynne while employed by the Missouri Pacific Railroad and later was with the U.S. Engineers' office at West Memphis. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church.

Surviving are his wife, Mrs Carrie Miller; a son, Robert Lee; his mother, Mrs. Alice Miller of Poplar Bluff, Mo., and a brother, Albert Miller, also of Poplar Bluff.

Funeral services will be conducted by the Rev. Roy Davis at the Presbyterian Church here tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock with burial at a local cemetery.

Notes:

Christened:
Special Services. There were special Easter services at the Congregational church last Sunday. At Sunday School the little folks in the primary room were given Easter eggs. Each egg had a green paper frog on top and when the egg is put in water it floats. The regular morning services were held at 11 oclock.

The church was decorated with potted blooming plants and cut flowers Easter lillies and carnations and there was a large cross of ferns and carnations. There was special Easter music by the organist and choir, and Miss Branson sang a solo, My Redeemer. There were four children baptised: Edwin H. Schmidt, Albert Royce Miller, Roy Dale Lux, Mabel Emma Lux. Ten were received into the church: Raymond Miller, Carter Farrar, Wilma Farrar, Helen Wilson, May Mather, Grace Weyer, Verda Weyer, Mildred Lux, Erma Condit, Vida Keister.

The exercise. Her Easter Choice, by the class of girls, was good: the violin solo by Phoebe Bussey deserves especial mention. Because of the length of the services Mr. Bussey's sermon was short, but the Easter message was convincingly brought to the congregation. In the evening the Easter cantata.

The Seven Last Words of Christ, was given. Our public school music teacher, Miss Pearl Branson, was the director of the Cantata, and it was due to her Jgood work in drilling the chorus and the fad that the members worked faithfully and well during the few weeks of practice, that the Cantata was a success. We know we have musical talent in Centralia, but in a production of this kind it takes a good director to bring out the besy that is in the singers. Mrs. Karl Gaston should have especial mention foi her good work as pianist, for witoout a good accompani-est a directos can do little.

The soloists were, soprano, Miss Pearl Branson: mezzo soprano, Edith McBratney: baritone, Harvey Guilford. The chorus was composed of forty voices and every number was well prepared. This cantata was different from any- thing we have had before, and while the recitative style was new to some we think the large majority enjoyed the production. As proof that it was appreciated the choir have been asked to repeat the Cantata at an early date, and they will give it again this Sunday evening..
