CURRY RIVEL.

CLOSE OF A USEFUL LIFE. - Death has removed from the village an old parishioner in the person of Mrs William TILLEY, familiarly known as “Emma.” Many a poor home is greatly indebted to Emma TILLEY for her willing to help and kindness, and the village has sustained a loss it will not be easy to replace for many years. Mrs TILLEY carried out the duties of midwife, but not feeling equal to the task of becoming certificated her work in that direction has been less than in former years. She leaves a husband and twelve grown up sons and daughters to mourn their loss.
