could do to combat the disease was used, all to
no avail. Mrs. Grant was born in Monroe, Ne,

ried Everett |. Grant, and since that time tn elr
home has been in Somervi.e, Mass. Naturally

genuine womanly instincts and natural dignity
had won for her many friends, was shown by
the many and beautiful fora offerings. In her
home life she was a most loving and devoted
daughter, wife and mother. In her girihood,
during long and dangerous illness of her
mother, her loving and untiring care and de vo-
ton went far towards saving the life of that
mother, between whom and herself there was
more than the usual affection of mother an
daughter. She was member of the order of
Rehekahs, l. o. Of 0. F., for some years, and
her efficient work in the degree team of that
order will be long and lovingly remembered

sympathy of the entire communiry. Her body
