after lingering until the 4th she
passed away peacefully.
Mrs. Powell was good neighbor
a kind mother and a dutiful wife.
Three sister and four brothers
survive. The past year Mrs.
Belscamper had resided with the

One sister resides in California, one
brother in Iowa, and the rest all
live near Lancaster, and were pre-
sent at the funeral. She was so
