spoke of his own acquaintance with the
departed sister, whose admirable traits OF
character commanded the respect OF all
who were privileged to belong to the cir
Gle OF those who knew her intimately.
A woman OF rare worth In the home,
the church and the community, her loss
serves to emphasize the great mystery of
death, which may claim those who are
nearest and dearest in the home circle at
the very time when they seem to have
made themselves indispensable to Its ex-
istence. The understanding OF this great
mystery has come In its fulness to the de-
parted ons, the memory of whose exem-
plary life will continue to bless all who
knew her
The casket was covered with beautiful
floral tributes, many from Washington
friends, including a wreath of immor-
telles and white roses and bouquets OF
lilies and roses. A large bunch OF lovely
chrvsanthemums was given by the ladies
of the CoDgn church.
A quartet selec ed from the church choir
rendered several selections. j. j. Sargent
was funeral director and the bearers were
Des. MiIler. Clark Davis, Dea. Parker and
r. w. Newcomb.
The body was placed IN the tomb in the
south OF the village, to avail
