Death of Miss Annie Napier

New York, 1895

Miss Annie Napier, youngest daughter of the late John B. Napier, died at her home on Jamaica avenue, Woodhaven, on Thursday, after a short illness from pneumonia. The funeral took place from Grace church on Sunday afternoon and was largely attended by friends from all parts of the town. The services were conducted by the Rev. William Bottome and the Rev. Joshua Kimber. The interment was in the family plot in Grace church yard. The deceased possessed many graces of character and manner, and the news of her death evoked many expressions of sorrow.
