In Memoriam.
1t is with feeling of deep sorrow
and regret that the members of the
w. A. c. are called to chronical the
death of Mrs. Helen r. McIntire, who
for over twenty years has been prom
inently identified with our organiza-
tion in its benevolent work in this
community.
She was a woman of strict integ-
rity, clear Judgment, queet and un-
tiring faithfulness in the discharge
of every duty. Kind and consider
ate to all.
For very many years she was pres
ident of our association and during
these years was the period of fnan-
cial depression in our Gown and she
was chosen to be the chief distributor
of the money and food given by our
citizens for the relief of the needy.
It was through her influence that
the w. C. a. became an incorporated
institution thereby enabling us to
open a Home for the Aged of Knox
co. nty.
She was always a member of the
board of managers of the Home and
gained for US friends and material
aid in its establishment and main
tenance.
At che last meetings of the trus-
tees (held few days before she left
to spend the holidays in Pittsburg,
her parting words of encouragement
combined with her steadfast faith
that the different branches OF the
work of the W. @. A. will be- success
full and that the Home will be placed
upon sound and prosperous basis,
commanding the respect and cordial
support of our people, will always re-
main in our memory like blessed
benediction.
Mrs. A. e. Cooper.
Mrs. Belle s. Ewalt
Mrs S. e. Stauffer.
Upon motion unanimously carried
