her faculties to a remarkable degree, only
her eyesight being impaired. She was one

Her life was one of motherly kindness and
good deeds, and her memory will be fond
ly cherished, not only by those of close
kinship, but by all who knew her.
Since the death of her aged companion
last August, she has longed to go home.
She lived to see the fourth generation,
having one daughter, Mrs. Rachel Hod g.

granddaughter, Mrs. A. A. Richardson,
and five great grandchildren.
