vices were held at the house at 80,
after which the remains were moved

very impressive services were held,

beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. Evans
was born in Ohio and moved with
her parents to LeSueur county when
a little girl, where she lived until
she was married thrty-seven years

moved to Judson where they remained
until death came last Tuesday. There

children were at their loving mothers
bedside at the time of her death.
Evan, Archie and Mrs. Nellie Jones
of North Dakota were the absent
ones. The latter was unable to leave
home to attend the funeral. Mrs.
Evans was fifty-seven years old and
was most excellent lady. She had
always led u true, Christian life, was
a faithful member of Jerusalem church
where she will be greatly missed. She
was quiet and bearing in all troubles
trusting her all in Him ''who over
ruleth all" and when death came she
feared not. She had been an invalid
for the past three years but was
able to be around until pneumonia
set in and was confined to her bed
only five DAYS. The surviving brother
and sister are Thomas Griffith and Mrs.
David Hughes of Owatonna. The be-
reaved family have the deepest SYM
pathy of the community in the loss of
a true. noble and loving wife, and a
kind, industrious, faithful mother.
