     The death of Mrs. Marie Boni cast a gloom over our town last week. She passed quietly away Tuesday evening. Funeral services conducted by Rev. Derby, Congregational pastor of White Salmon, were held Thursday at the church. The large attendance and the many beautiful flowers show the high esteem in which she was held. Two sons and a host of friends are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother and an obliging neighbor. She was a Klickitat county pioneer.
