Annie A. Travers, daughter of John Travers of Locust Point, died on Monday of a complication of diseases. She was 22 years old and had been sick since Thanksgiving. She graduated from the state normal school at Trenton last June. After her graduation she was taken sick with brain fever, which left her sight impaired and her health enfeebled. She was a member of the church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help of the Highlands. The funeral will be held to-morrow morning at half-past nine o’clock from the house and at ten o’clock from St. Agnes’s church at Atlantic Highlands. The service will be conducted by Rev. T. A. Roche and the pall bearers will be Richard Whalen, Arthur Brower, W. S. Golden, James and John Cahill and Michael Fleming. The body will be buried in Mt. Olivett cemetery at Headdon’s Corner. Mr. and Mrs. Travers lost another daughter, aged sixteen years, a little over a year ago, and much sympathy is expressed for them.
