The funeral services of Mrs. Theo. McDougal were held Friday
morning at 11 o’clock, at her late home in Veteran. The Rev. Wm. H. Yard
of Horseheads, officiated, and interment was made in the Vary cemetery.
Mrs. McDougal’s maiden name was Emily Cornish. She was born in Tompkins

Mrs. John L. Carpenter of Elmira and Mrs. Judson Primmer of Kenzual, Pa.
Since her marriage she has always lived in Veteran, and her death removes
from that place a respected resident from the church, a faithful sister
from the home a beloved wife. The ??? and tribulation which prevented this
faithful woman from performing her household duties, cut her off from social
life and from the ?? of the served, only made her faith in him stronger.
When her spirit answered the summons to return to Him who gave it she surrendered
to her Maker, saying, “Not my will but Thine be done”, and in departing
left an example of true Christian living whose sweet and ennobling influence
will ever dwell in the hearts and appear in the lives of those she knew
best. The bereaved husband and family wish to thank the many kind friends
who administered to her in her sickness and them in their bereavement.
