Death of Miss Kathryn Thayne.
  A little after 1 o'clock Sunday morning, Sept. 15, 1907, occurred the
death of Kathryn, a beloved daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Thayne, of Auburn.
Her death was due to heart disease.  She was a beautiful type of young
girlhood who through her gentleness of character and kindness of speech,
made her name fragrant in the home where a link in the family ties have
been broken, and a sadness has entered.  Her death was as her life had been,
peaceful and beautiful.  She was a faithful child of the sacraments and when
the end came she had no fear of death, if it was to be God's will.  At the
home many kind words of condolence gave comfort to the bereaved family.
The floral tributes bespoke the high esteem in which Kary was held.
  She is survived by her parents and the following brothers and sisters:
Annie, wife of John Murray, of Binghamton; Ella, of Binghamton; Thomas and
Peter, of Orange, N.J.; and William and Winifred at home to mourn her loss.
  The funeral was largely attended Tuesday morning, Sept. 17, her
pastor Father Holmes performing Requiem High Mass for the soul's repose,
in St. Bonaventure church.  After the mass had been sung, and the final
absolution over the mortal remains of Katie pronounced, Father Holmes came to
the altar rail and paid high tribute to the dead in a very sensitive sermon.
  Interment in St. Bonaventures cemetery.  The pall bearers were:
Messrs. John Thayne, John Sullivan, Wm. Sullivan, Arthur Dolan, Wm. Dolan
and James Shields.

"Death, ? ? is destiny,
 Paused n'er her ? a while,
She gave a ? ? she loved,
 And met Death with a smile."

Mrs. John Thayne
  A little after 9 o'clock Saturday evening, August 31, 1912, occurred the
death of Mrs. John Thayne.  Deceased was before her marriage, Miss Kathryn
Dolan.  Death was due to cancer of the stomach, following an illness of
nearly eight months of patient suffering.  Her death was as her life had
been--peaceful and beautiful, having no fear of death if it was to be
God's will.
  She was a faithful type of womanhood who through her gentleness of character
and kindness of speech made fragrant in the home where another link in the
family ties has been broken and sadness has entered.  She was held in high
esteem in the community in which she lived, the true estimate of her life
being shown in the many and beautiful floral offerings.
  She is survived by her husband and the following children, Peter and
Thomas of Orange, N. J., William of Rush, Anna, wife of John Murray and
Ella of Binghamton, Winifred, wife of Edward Burke of Meshoppen, also two
sisters, Mrs. Peter Thayne of Auburn, Pa., and Mrs. Henry McKenna of Sayre.
  The funeral in St. Bonaventures church was largely attended Tuesday morning,
September 3, her pastor, Father Kelley intoning requiem high mass for the
soul's repose.  After the mass had been sung and final absolution over the
mortal remain of Mrs. Thayne pronounced, Father Kelley came to the altar rail
and paid high tribute to the dead in a very effective sermon.  Interment in
St. Bonaventures cemetery.  The pall bearers were:  Messers. John Thayne,
James McKenna, Wm. Dolan, Robert Dolan, Wm. Sullivan, and Thomas Burke.
The flower bearers were Leo McKenna and Harold Coyle.
  Mother, thou hast left us,
    Deep in sorrow and distress,
  And our hearts are sorely bleeding
    For we have no mother left.
  One we loved has left our number
    For the dark and silent tomb,
  Closed her eyes in deathly slumber
    Faded in her early bloom.
                         A Friend.
