Bilkhauser, Supt. of No. Co. John
Lreeuen, City Marshal 4. F. Emerson,
Editor NJ D. Witter of the News and
Fred Moore. c. A. Shafer had charge
Of The obsequies.
When the body was placed in the
church it was hidden in a wealth of
floral offerings, marvelously beauti-
full, and plenteous. Oasis Rebekah

ate design, and the people who also
knew and loved her sent flowers in
profusion.

sisted by members of the church and

Taylor spoke simple and eloquent
words of comfort, letting the blame
less and useful life of deceased hold
up to all the virtues of loving and
serving God and your neighbor. Her
Christian life was bound up in her
favOrite portion of Scripture-thc
23d psalm, and when it was read, il
held a new meaning for all, for they
knew the great heart and loving dis
position OF the aged saint, in her daily
walk
Passing through opened ranks of
the orders and loving friends, the body
was borne to the Shafer undertak-
ing parlOrS, where II rested till 5
pm. when the ladies of the Rebekah
Lodge and the members of nrawley

In charge of her son, the body was
taken to Los Angeles. where il will
be held till Saturday next, when her
daughters will leave Brawley, and es-
cort it to Salt Lake, their permanent
home, for final interment
Deceased came to Brawley three
years ago, and her life has been
helpful and inspiring to all who
fouched it. She reverenced woman
kind, and no woman suffered but that
she felt her sorrow Guileless. trust
