cold figures how much good this gem

woman has done. Her hands are idle
and her heart is cold for the first time
in nearly seventy-nine years, and thir-
teen hundred children, and their chill
dren, and their friends will read this
news with pang Of regret and with
tear of gratitude in the eye.
Eighteen years ago Mr. and Mrs.
Sherrard settled in Clark county in

were handled by them from the farm
house in Clark county. The work out
