Death of Mrs. Bly.
Nothing could have more deeply grieved the people of Bismarck than did the news of the death of Mrs. E. H. Bly, who passed from earth at an early hour Friday morning. The death was sudden for although the good lady had suffered for many years the siege of illness which resulted so lamentably was of less than two days duration. The immediate cause of death was neuralgia of the heart. At 9 o'clock Mr. Bly entered the sick room and found the deceased in good spirits, and after a pleasant allusion to the numerous bandages and wraps which had about her face, she reclined and fell into slumber. At ten o'clock Mr. Bly, who was sitting in the room reading, became alarmed by the peculiarity of his wife's breathing, and awakening her asked after her comfort. She replied that she was not suffering pain, but was not feeling quite as well as when she went to bed. At midnight her condition was such that Mr. Bly sent for Dr. Porter, who arrived too late to bring relief, for life was fast ebbing away. After two o'clock Mrs. Bly was unconscious, and at 5:30 yesterday morning she died. She was fifty-six years of age.
Mr. and Mrs. Bly lived happily as man and wife for thirty years, and during the past nine years have been residents of Bismarck. In early days they came from the east to Superior, Wis., and when the Northern Pacific road was being constructed they removed to Brainerd, whence they came to Bismarck. The deceased was one of the most generous and charitable ladies of Bismarck, a faithful worker in the church, a devoted mother and a thoughtful wife. She was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city and was identified with every movement for the good of humanity and the relief of the suffering. Miss Hattie, the only daughter, has been attending school at Mt. Carroll, and will arrive Sunday afternoon in time to attend the funeral, which will take place Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Presbyterian church.
The people of Bismarck have lost a useful Christian and a generous friend, and unite their profound sorrow with that of the bereaved family. The blow is painfully severe on Mr. Bly, who had been in poor health for several years, and the sympathy of the community goes out to him in this hour of sore affliction.

Funeral of Mrs. E. H. Bly.
The last sad rites over the remains of Mrs. E. H. Bly were held at the Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon. The church was well filled with representative residents, who gathered to pay their respects to one who had been a resident of the city for over eight years and who was held in the highest esteem by all her acquaintances. The deceased was an earnest and devoted member of the Presbyterian society, and her church activity will be greatly missed. Rev. C. B. Austin preached the sermon, speaking earnestly and kindly of the characteristic fidelity, faithfulness and patience of one whom, as her pastor, he knew so well. Music was rendered by C. B. Little and T. P. Herron, and Mrs. F. J. Call and Mrs. J. W. Parker. The pallbearers were Messrs. W. B. Watson, Robert Macnider, E. V. Houten, E. C. Whitford, W. S. Moorhouse and John Davidson. The solacing sympathy of a very large circle of friends is tendered Mr. Bly and Miss Hattie in their sad bereavement and intense sorrow, and friends will be ready to improve every opportunity to brighten their pathway made so dark by the taking away of one so dearly loved.
