The sad intelligence was received here today of the death of Mrs. Herbert H. Gortner, which occurred at her home in Goshen this morning at 10 o’clock. The remains will be brought here tomorrow for interment.
The death of Mrs. Gortner is one of the saddest which The Journal has been called upon to chronicle for a long time. On the 24th day of last September H. H. Gortner and Miss Maude Galey were united in marriage at the home of the bride’s father, B. V. Galey, in this city, and entered upon life with the most splendid prospects. Their marriage life was one of perfect happiness and that it should thus be broken seems irreconcilable. Mrs. Gortner was visiting here shortly before commencement, and returning home was taken with a low grade of fever from which she suffered until death came to her relief. She was about 23 years of age, and her life had been one of unalloyed happiness. She was loved by all who knew her for her character was a most beautiful one, and her many estimable traits and gentle virtues had endeared her to all. To the bereaved husband, parents and relatives the heart of the whole community goes out in sorrow and sympathy in the great bereavement and sorrow which has come upon them.

The funeral of Mrs. H. H. Gortner, of Goshen, occurred yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o’clock from the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. V. Galey. Quite a concourse of friends and relatives were in attendance on the sad ceremonies and followed the remains to the last resting place at the beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery. The services at the residence were conducted by Rev. E. B. Thomson whose remarks were both appropriate and affecting. The music was furnished by a quartette consisting of Mrs. C. L. Thomas, Miss Mary Thomson, and Messrs. Ed McNutt and A. A. McCain. A very pretty part of the exercises was the bearing of the numerous and beautiful floral offerings by five of Mrs. Gortner’s young lady friends, Misses Nan Elston, Nell Coutant, Mary Smith, Annie Kenyon, and Mary Somerville.
