with inflammatory rheumatism, lying

leaving the joints in two of her limbs
permanently stiffened.
The next summer her mother passed
away very suddenly while they were
out riding, leaving her to assume the
cares and responsibilities of her fathers
household, which she did faithfully and

home near Lime Springs. She is sur
vived by two sisters and one brother.
