The funeral of Mrs. Lafayette CHOISSER, widow of the late Lafayette CHOISSER of Bear Valley, whose death occurred in Stockton on the evening of the 4th, took place in Bear Valley last Sunday afternoon.

The remains of the deceased lady were embalmed in Stockton and brought to Bear Valley for internment. On Sunday afternoon the last tribute of respect was paid by the entire population of the town and surrounding country who followed the funeral cortege to the last resting place in the little graveyard east of town. where the remains were laid to rest beside those of her husband who had gone before. The deceased had lived in Bear Valley for more than a quarter of a century. She was a good women, a kind and obliging neighbors and a devoted mother whose presence will be sadly missed. She left to mourn her loss a family of seven children. The youngest child is about thirteen years of age and at present is in bed convalescing from a severe attack of fever and on account of her condition she has not been informed of her mother's death.

The sympathy of the entire community is with the afflicted in this, their hour of trouble.
