two at-grandchildren- Lindale Green
and George Voshell. Each one of these
of the three generations attended the
funeral. The greater part of her life
was spent in Camden, where she was
much beloved and much sought after,
especially by the young people. There
was an attraction because of her amia-

in contact with her to admire her. She
was fortunate in having excellent health
and a robust constitution until late in
life, and attended with her own hands
to every detail of household work until
she was IS years old. Since that time

est daughter, Mrs. Chambers, and has
