Mrs. Warmers acquain tance in this
vicinity began in February, 1903, when
her husband responded to call from
the Congregational church in Barton,
and IN the past nine years she has
constantly been adding to her list of
friends. Her tastes were purely
domestic and her chief aim has been
to create home for her family. She
largely assumed the burdens of the
home in order that her husband might
give his undivided attention to the
srduous duties of his profession. As
home builder, she belonged to that
class of whom Solomon speaks in
Prov. 81. "Her children rise up and
call her blessed. her husband also,
and he praiseth her. NAM daughters

qualities she possessed in more than
ordinary degree, and the glory that
radiates from her life falls as a bene
diction on all.
! She was an honored member of the
member of the Congreg gationaI church,
a worker III the Ladies' society, and a
helper in the C. E. society. She was
a daughter of the Revolution though
not member of that order. She is

mother, Mrs. G. H. Spaulding of Ar

of friends who mourn her loss.
