and who was intimately as ,ociated with
Mrs. Nation, spoke in terms of highest
praise In reference 10 the lalter's refined
nature and cultured bearing. The same
admirable traits of character were exhib-

the same gentle, ladylike ways remained.

March 9th, and the funeral was held the
Wednesday afternoon following, Rev.
