EDDY RITES ANNOUNCED
Interment services for the ashes of Miss Frances Eddy, former Niles resident who died Aug. 8 in Chicago, will be held in Silverbrook Cemetery Monday at 2 p.m. with graveside services conducted by the Rev. Chester F. Wetzel, assistant pastor of the First Presbyterian Church.
Miss Eddy was the daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. Alfred Eddy. Her father had served as pastor of the Niles Presbyterian church from 1871 to 1883 and her sister was married to the late Congressman LaRue Hamilton, of Niles. Her only survivor is a niece, Mrs. Homer Dixon, of Chicago.
Although Miss Eddy moved to Chicago about 20 years ago, she continued to return to Niles for a number of years for extended visits.
Note: Gravemarker gives year of birth as 1862; however, it appears that Miss Eddy applied for a US Passport Nov. 15, 1924 stating her father to be Alfred Eddy and her birth as June 27, 1866 in Bloomington, Illinois. Other family history gives dob as June 27, 1862.
