where she was born and had lived
Tor nearly 0S years, TO a far bet
ter home. Oh, how we miss her
sweet face and kind words. But
we know that she is at rest from
all of her sufferings and we hope
some day to meet her in that
heavenly home. She leaves a
brother, five sons, one daughter
and a number of friends to mourn
their loss. She was a kind neigh
Dor, a loving, tender mother, a
good christian, always ready to
visit the sick and distressed, new
er stopping to think of self, but
ever ready to do what she could
for. others. She will be greatly
missed, not only in the home, but
in the entire neighborhood. None
knew her but to love her. May
we all live such lives that it may
also be said of us and that we
may be able to live forever with
her and the redeemed loved ones
that have gone before and above
all with Jesus.
