There was very large attendance

Grandma Yule, we'll known to all the
old settlers and to those of middle age
for her untiring activity in church and
social life, passed away quietly and
gently as u babe falling asleep on Sat
urday morning, April Ii, 1895. She
was a native of Aberdeen, in Aud
Scotia AC the age of 80 she left
Scotland and came to SOmers in 1910.
She outlived her husband, Alexander
Yule, over quarter of century She
leaves behind eight children. Sturdy
and reliant as the granite hills of Scot
land was her character AMI embOSOmed
in it were pleasant wales flowing with
sweetness and adding blessings to those
who knew her. In later years many q
one has seen her bent form looking
down into the faces of the flowers which
she loved SO well, and yesterday in the
full glow of the Easter-tide sun, the
flower, typical of the resurrection,
looked once more upon the face of her,
whose soul beholds the never fading
bloom of eternity. Kind, intuitively
seeing the need of those less fortunate,
they never departed without sharing q
part of her store. In the fullneSs Of
life she bore the burden of others; in
the weakness Of strength, gentle hands
ministered to her wants. The proverb
of Lemuel tells the story of her life
clearly and truly: :" Her children rise
up and call her blessed. Her funeral
took place from the Presbyterian
church, which was crowded. Rev.
Geo. Rea Officiated. His sermon from
Col, 1-3, e" Risen in Christ, ~ was a
beautiful tribute to one whose life had
been so in keeping with her Masters
will. The music by the regular church
choir was very appropriate. Four
sons, Henry, Robert, Frank and Ed
ward; two grandsons, Sherman Yule,
of Des Moines, Ia; Charles Yule, of
Kenosha, acted as pail bearers. There
we're present children and grandchild-
