a tribute to the memory of Miss Francis
OF nj Df ha
National and Worlds w. G.. L. u,
the local branch of this town met at
St. Paul's NJ. p. Church, Thursday,
to hold a short memorial service. The
pulpit recess was decorated with the
white banners and ribbons which in
front was a picture of Miss Willard
draped in morning. In front of the

she paid a beautiful tribute to the
memory of Miss Willard with whom
she was associated at so many of the
conventions she had attended. Her
love for her was not alone as the leader
of that great Temperance organization,
but more akin to that of a beloved
sister, and with others greatly mOurned
her loss.
