Of q. W. Lundermsn, Of this county.
on the 9Th Of Oct. 1880. aged 40
ysars. Mira. Lunderman was a kind
neighbor. afectionate wife and devot-
ed mother. She united with the
Salen Baptist church in the fall OF
1860, of which she remained a con-
.istent member until removed to the
church triumphant. She leaves Q
companion. FIVE children and many
friends to mourn her loss, but they
sorrow not without hope. Their loss
doubtless is her gain. The deep
