DEATH OF
MARGARET
WITHER.
Mrs. Margaret Cundiff Wither died
in St. Francis Hospital, San Francisco
Sunday noon, after an illness of several
weeks, of pneumonia and a complica
tion of diseases. Her death is partio
ularly a sad one, leaving the mother,
who was with her ctiiMless, two daugh
ters having gone in the bloom of life,
and the husband several years ago.
Margaret Cundiff was born in tbis
city, in the brick built ry her father at
Washington and Third street, March al,
1885, and spent her life here until about
seven years ago, when she moved with
her mother to Eugene to secure the
advantages of the State University,
from which she graduated, then teach
ing a year, returning to her mother's
home to be with her. She was married
the first of August to Mr. Nat Wither
in San Francisco, a happy affair,, to be
followed by illness and death.
Bright, genial and lovoable her death
has cast a gloom over the many friends
in Albany, and her mother and husband
have the univeral sympathy of Albany
peop e in their great loss.
The remains were taken to San Jose
today for interment.

Editor Democrat:
As there seems to be some difference
of opinion as to the location of cur New

one deeply interested in the future of
our city, to offer still another suggest
ion. ict long ago a most desirabble
location was selected, at a very
reasonable figure, consisting of an
entire'block for our fine new high school
building. All public buildings should
be located with a view to future
requirements, our proposed city hall
should not be crowed into the wholesale
and retail distict. Albany needs a citv
park and ne.Js it badly. If anacreage
park is not to be had then we should
adopt the block park system. We are
