MRS. ELM1RA L. WALLS.

After long and painful illness, Mrs.
Eimira L. Walls entered into rest on the
morning of December IL, welcoming death
as a friend bringing sweet relief. Mrs.
Walls has for many years been a shut-in
sufferer from heart disease which for more
than year bad assumed a painful type
dropsy. For more than six months the
invalid has been unable to lie in bed,
sleeping in an upright position in her
chair, and though at first respondent over
her i'll health, she has for many long weary
months borne her suffering with re-
markable fortitude and cheerfulness,
ready and willing to answer the summons.
Mrs. Walls has for many years been a
member of the Sunshine society, and as
long as she was able, delighted to send
cheer to other invalids. She has her
self been often cheered by Sunshine
favors, and her collection of souvenir
postal cards from relatives and other
friends has been source of comfort and
pleasure in her weary hours.
Her husband, John Walls, has been a
most devoted companion and faithful
nurse, and the separation will be keenly
felt by him, as well as by the only son
Earle.
The funeral was held at the home
Wednesday. Rev. Mr. Barnard read
marked passages from the bible so lately
laid down by the hands now at rest, and
spoke words of consolation. Favorite
hymns were sung by Mrs. A. NJ. Lawton
and Mrs. Louise Freeman. Interment was
at Evergreen cemetery.
Besides the husband and son, Mrs. Walls
leaves three brothers, Ezra, Martin and
Freeman Lurvey, and four sisters, Mrs.
Margaret Grundy, Mrs. Lorinda Farmer,
Mrs. Eliza beth Stanley and Mrs. Mabel
Tinker.
