Mrs. Mary Ward.
(Communicated).
Mrs. Mary Ward, wife of James
Ward, passed quietly away Friday
morning, April 2. Mrs. Ward lived
all her life in this immediate neigh
borhood, and was highly esteemed for
her many good qualities. She was for
many years good consistent member
of the Methodist Church. Among her
friends she was esteemed for her con-
stancy in her friendships, the hospi-
tality in her home life. and kindness
to the unfortunate. Her home was
her kingdom and there she ruled with
firmness, gentleness and love. She
leaves behind her the fragrance of a
beautiful, quiet life, the influence of
which will live in her home and in
the memory of her friends and ac-
Quaintances. In the passing away of
Mrs. Ward our community loses the
influence and example of an old-fash-
ioned, home loving mother and friend.
The sympathy of the whole commun-
ity goes out to Mr.. Ward. who has
been blind for some years in the grief
he has sustained. Irs. Wards family
consists of Mr.. John T. Ward, Mrs.
Alex. Craig, Mrs. Charles Keesey,
Miss Clara and James Ward, Jr. All
living in Perryville. except James,
who is with the American Bridge
Company. R,
