but in spite of medical skill and
loving care and tender ministra-
tons of her loved ones, who were
continually by her bedside, she grad

morning, March 3, passed away. In
her last illness she manifested the
same contented and cheerful dispo-

throughout life. While in the hos

nurses were won by her patience
and exceptional cheerfulness. Some
years ago she became a member OF
the Methodist church of which she
remained consistent and devoted
member until her death. Besides

children, three great-grandchildre

tionate mother, wife, sister, the
community a friend, and the church
in whose communion she was a loyal
daughter. Funeral services were
held on Sunday morning at the
Methodist church and were in
