with words Of comfort for the afflicted

made her an interesting and cherished
companion to those who knew and
loved her best. AT all times. in her
moments of joy, rs in her hours OF
sorrow. she walked with God in spirit
Of firm faith and perfect trust, and
with this trust she gave her soul into
His loving care. She was comforted
during the last weeks Of her illness by
the kind words of hope and faith spoken
to her by her pastor who visited her
often. Requiem High Mass was cele-
brated at ten O'Clock Thursday morning
by the pastor Rev. Father N. Weyer,
at St Mary's Catholic Church, and
there she was taken for the last time
where she had so long and faithfully
worshipped in the faith which she had
chosen 10 follow while her little child
rem were growing up around her.

JudSon's dash and his capture of the
