she was married in 1914 to James I,
Hendryx, and removed at once 10 Jeffer

first three years of her married life were
passed. In 1s47 they returned to Coop

the only surviving member OF her i'm
mediate family is her only son, Charles
F. Hendryx.
Early in life she became an active
member of the Episcopal church, and to
the end, even after her days OF effective
work were over, she maintained alively
interest not only in the church of her
choice, but in the broader fell of christian
ity. No narrow church ines circum-

She was an earnest worker among the
poor, the afflicted and theE suffering so
long as her health and opportunity per
mitted:
For many years of her married life she
was an invalid, confined to the narrow
confines of her own home, but her own
sufferlngs bat served to increase her
sympathy, and stimulate her zeal for the
relief of the unfortunate.
Amid all the 'vicissitudes OF varying
| fortune, she maintained that christian
| fortitude and hopefulness which were
ever conspicuous in her character. She
could truly say: 81 know whom 1 have

Mrs. Laura Stringham of Minneapolis, a
would be apostle offree silver, undertook to
enlighten the ignorant masses at the city hall
last night. She was represented to the free
silver club here as being woman of such
wit and brilliancy as to shame the electric
lights. 1t was said of her that she was the
only one who has during this eampain, COM
pletely annihilated Page Morris. But dur
ing her short effort here if any one was
looking for dimness of the lights they
were disappointed. She spoke for about ten
minutes in an uncertain school girl manner,
forgot her lines and hesitated, at this
moment some one evidently at the wrong
time let loose blush of shame, it foated
round the room for about a minute, when
with au instinct for the eternal fitness Of
things it settled down on the speaker who
collapsed, and the electricity laughed until
Janitor Meigs turned it out.
