thence and unselfishness characteristic
of her through life. Loving hands and
willing feet were always ready to do
what was possible to assuage her sui
fering and attend her slightest wish.

wives In the death of Grandma
Greene not only the family but the
community loses one of those sweet,
great-hearted unselfish motherly Wo-
men, who are found nowhere as on the
