Mitchell, aged "a years,
Mrs Mitchell WAS most lovable and
christian lady, and highly esteemed by
all who knew her. She WAS devoted

WAS born in Cedar county Missouri and
was the companion of her husband for
40 years She left Borrowing husband
and six grown children who sadly
mourn her loss, and who have the
sympathy of the entire neighborhood
Her remains were laid to rest in the

conducted the funeral services.
So let her sleep that dreamless sleep
Our sorrows clustering around her head.
Be comforted We loved who weep
She lives with God she Is not dead d"
