ly before her death she had completed
arrangements to go away to spend the
summer in the eastern part OF this state.
Her death was sudden. She was highly
respected by all who knew her. She
lived an active and useful life, doing
| much to uplift mankind in teaching
school and church work and by the
example shown by her own life. She
| had been a member OF the Reformed
church at Worthwhile since childhood.

Gated, got on the front end Of the

he was on the train and did not see him
fall off, but several boys found him
