Here she grew to young womanhood
attending school at Kirkville, where
she graduated in 1907. She also attend
cd the Grinnell high school, graduating
this June. She gave her heart to
Christ in childhood and united with
the Methodist Episcopal church in
KirkvilIe during the pastorate of Rev.
Stiles. She was consistent Christian,
faithful In all things which she recOg-
nized as her duty, indeed her willing
ness to do whatever good she had OPP
portunity to do would have done credit
to one OF twice her years and exper-.
ience. She was a loving. obedient
daughter. a devoted sister and a faith
full and true friend. All who knew her
loved her for her gentleness and
thoughtfulness Of others, and for her
true worth as faithful Christian
young woman.
Besides. her parents, she leaves to
mourn her sudden and untimely death
which was caused by a bolt Of light
brothers. Sydney Of Shoshone, Idaho,
and Lewis a.. Of Chicago, besides
multitude of neighbors and friends.
none Of them can comprehend why one
80 young and fair should be so sum-
marily cut off In the very bloom Of
youth. and just when she had reached
the period In life when she was ready
to be OF especial use in doing good for
those who so much need help in this
old sinful world. But God knows best
and let us be willing to trust him and
believe that He is able to do more by
her death than she could have done
with her life, for His ways are past
finding out.
Funeral services were conducted
from the M. E. church at Kirkville on
Tuesday afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock,
June 2Sth, by her pastor, Rev. ]. Stan
ley Decker, her school mates acting as
pail bearers.
The bereaved family. consisting of
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith and sons, Sydney
and Lewis, desire to take this oppor-
unity to thank all the neighbors and
friends who have so kindly assisted
them In this, their sore trial and be-
reavement.-

Night Riders and Federal Indictment.

relic of m~edievalism.
