ing her mother when she was seven
years of age, the larger part OF the
succeeding years was spent with peo-
pie in Johnson until the spring OF
1866, when she was united IN mar
riage with w. K. Annis of Albany on
May 31st. With the exception or
some two and half years she resld-
ed in Albany until June 9. 1900. since
which time they have lived IN Or-
leans. Mrs. Annis was OF that KIND
and loving disposition that made
friends everywhere, a most deVot-
ed wife and strongly attached TO ner
home, which she made VerlCaole
paradise of love. She was KIND
friend and good neighbor and Will -, be
greatly missed in her sphere: Inc
bereaved husband, while boWlng to
the will of the Master. carries
heart bleeding with grief. The only
known near relatives OF Mrs. Annls
are two nephews and three nleces,
all living in Missouri. The funeral
was held from her late home last
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev
Grant l.. Shaeffer officiating. The
interment was in the cemetery at
Albany, where very large number
of her friends had gathered to view
for the last time the loved form.
Card of Thanks-I wish to express
my most sincere thanks to my many
friends and neighbors both in Orleans
and Albany for their many kind acts
in my deep bereavement. Also Tor
the many flowers that were sent IN on
the day of the funeral. My gratitude
for the many kindly acts is beyond
expression. May God bless you.
