The town of Buffalo was very
much sadened on the Goth of jan

Methodist church at this place, she
will be greatly missed in the Sunday

.1khrch as we'll as by every one who
knew her. The funeral services were
held at her home on> the following
day by her pastor, Rev. w. +. Gault,
assisted by Raw. L. 8. Shealy, the
ReRtist minister at Buffalo. Herr
mafns were carried to North Carolina

ther, five brothers and three sisters
