work bravely, and when an incurable
up her home and work there and came
here to make her home and spend the
remainder of her life with her family,
her husband coming few months later.
She came among us stranger, but after
few times seeing her one could not feel
that she was any more stranger but a
friend-one we all learned to love, and
those who visited her in her sickness and
were favored with pleasant calls before
she was confined to the house will always
have something pleasant to remember.
A woman of rare mental powers, plea
sing address and womanly presence, her
companinship was pleasure, and even
in her own affection she did not forget
others, ever thinking of some little gift
or favor for every one who came to heI
in her trouble. She endeared herself tC
all and she will be greatly missed and
long remembered by those who knew heI
best. Her suflerings were great, at times
almost unbearable, but she bore them all
with great fortitude and patience, YET
she wondered how much longer it would
be and longed for the end, which came
in peace, without one struggle and like d
sweet sleep. On Friday morning servi
ces were held at the home, few remarks
and prayer by Rev. Mr.. Barnum. The
remains were then taken to their former
home, where fitting services were hello
and the interment was in lot selected
by herself IN the cemetery there. The
remains were accompanied by her hus
band and son, who returned here on Tues
