His words ever proving, to be a source of comfort and strength to her in life's many and varied trials, an her greatest comfort in the last days of her life. she leaves to mourn her departure two daughter, Mrs. J. L. Walton and Mrs. Nelson Barnhill, of Bradyville, Iowa, one sister, Mrs. Catherine Thompson, of Arlington, five grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren, besides a host of other relatives and friends.
