and i months. She was the daughter of the
late Stillman and Margaret Woods of Morrill,.

and several brothers and sisters survive her.
Too much cannot be said in praise of her
daily life. When quite young she became
Christian and always in her daily life
showed in quiet beautiful way the sweet
graces Of faith and love. During long
illness she was patient and uncomplaining
though suffering greatly, and it is ours to
say that a loving wife, an affectiOnate
daughter and sister and true friend has
gone on to await the coming of her loved
ones. The family have the sympathy of
the community in their great bereavement.
