Mrs. Aron was a devoted wife,
a kind and loving mother, and a
loyal and generous-hearted friend
and exemplary neighbor. She
was, indeed, one of the most chari-
table women that has ever lived
lin Greenwood, and the countless
acts of aid and comfort dispensed
to the poor, needy and afflicted
during her long residence here
will always be fondly remembered.
This truly good woman is sur
vived by her husband, Col. Albert
Aron; her three daughters, Mrs.
Martin Marx, Mrs. G. w. Chambless
and Mrs. r. L. Miller; her three
sons, Messrs. Bismark, Gus and
Adolph Aron-all of whom were
present at the funeral.
