Miss Mary Swartz was born at Yer

health permitted her to do so. She
will be missed greatly from her place
in church work which she filled so
faithfully and her place in the home
will also be missed by the members
of the family, she being of bright
happy disposition which won for her a
number of friends WHO will mourn her
loss and extend to the grieved rela-
tives their sympathy.
She is survived by two sisters and
one brother, Mrs. ]. w. Bauer and
