viving.
The sympathy and earnest
prayers of our entire west-side go
out to our esteemed friends, Mr..
and Mrs. Vess Bussey of Modoc, in
the loss of their second daughter,
Mrs. Ray Humphries, of Union.
Mrs. Humphries was accomplished,
graduate of the S. G. G. l., and
taught up to the time she met and
married Mr.. Ray Humphries who
was then county superintendent of
education of Union county. Miss
Carrie, the Oldest daughter, who
married Mr.. Gordon Bowel, died
few years ago in exactly the same
way. Oh, it does seem so strange to
finite mortals for two bright, edu-
Gated young women, right on the
threshold of usefulness to be called
away so young. For two daughters
of the same family, so well equip
ped to fight life's battles to die in
SO short time, is quite remarkable,
and is blow to the fond parents,
that only the grace of God can as
suage. May God bless them, end
cause this afiiction to work for
them a far more exceeding weight
of glory.
