Last Monday evening Mrs. Edith
Gibson and little daughter Grace left
for Clarinda, Iowa, where she expects
to make her future home, her parents
and sisters being at that place. Mrs.
Gibson leaves under sad circumstances
her husband, G. n. Gibson, was buried
about year ago at this place, and as
Mrs. Gibson spent her girlhood, days
here, also all of her married life, she
has formed ties and attachments that
were hard to sever. She leaves wide
circle of friends who will miss her and
who also sympathize with her in the
sorrow of separation. We hope and
trust she will be happier in her new
home and that peace and share of
life's joys will still be hers in years to
come.
