Guilford: The entire community was saddened last week by the news of the serious illness of Mrs. L.L. Yager, of this place, who had been spending most of the summer with her husband in Upperville [Chenango Co., NY]. Later came the announcement of her death in that place September 30. The funeral services were held here at the Yager residence Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. J.T. Lewis, of Oriskany Falls, former rector of the Guilford church, officiated, and the services were largely attended. The music was finely rendered by a male quartet, E.L. Neff and C.F. Ingersoll; Miss Mary Winsor, accompanist. the Woman's Club, of which Mrs. Yager was a member; the Guilford N.P.L. Lodge, No. 79, of which she was treasurer, and a club of ten to which she belonged, attended the services in a body. The wealth of flowers were but a slight token of the love and esteem of many friends by whom her loss will be deeply felt. Among them were a beautiful cross about three feet in height, and a large wreath of pink rosebuds from the State Road Tower at Upperville, in emblem; a tire piece from the N.P.L.; carnations from the Woman's Club and the club of Ten, besides many other tributes. The gray casket, covered with flowers, was borne to its last resting place by D.C. Whittemore, Nelson Thackery, Will C. Burton and V.S. Winsor. Besides her husband, Mrs. Yager is survived by her son, C.L. Yager, of Binghamton; one daughter, Miss Julia Yager, and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Clark, of Maryland...
