church, W. r. g., Custos Morum Rebekah
lodge, the Grange and the Milford Wom-
ans club. and he will be greatly missed
by host OF friends, though her energies
and activities were far more largely de-
voted to her home life. Anew, daily, some
evidence of her thoughtfulness was meas
ured out in exceeding grace to the absent
ones, as well as to those TO whom she
could minister all the time. Always an
admirer of the ideal and artistic side OF

Just four years ago now the weddings OF

anniversary time OF the marriage of the

has now been broken, but love and truth
and estimable character are imperishable

and beauty of her strength of years, was
