She lived a consecrated christian life and died in full triumph of the faith as it is in Christ Jesus and that she was a devoted and obedient wife, a kind and affectionate mother and neighbor. She departed this life in her 72nd year and was laid to rest at the Ward Cemetery in the community in which she lived. Her husband, R. J.

May God who loved and saved her, comfort her bereaved loved ones and keep them until one by one they are called to join her in the home where all tears are dried and where loved ones part no more. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved. Brother be comforted, she has gone to that happy home in the beyond awaiting thine arrival in the sweet bye and bye. "A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled."
