Our hearts are again made sad by
the death of one of our oldest resi- :
dents, Mrs. G.. Wallis, who passed
away at her home here Monday after
noon, November Is, 1915; after an ill
ness of two weeks of pneumonia. In
her illness she suffered intensely, yet
she bore it with patience and was
ready to go when the Master called.
All that medical aid and loving hands
could do was done to stay the hand of
death, but without avail. May God
bless and protect the husband and
children, and may they 10 live that
when they are called from this world
they will meet mother in heaven. The
deceased's sister arrived from Chica-
go, too late to attend the funeral. The
services were conducted from the
Nazarene Church, on College Hill, by
her pastor, Rev. B. T. Flannery, after
which the body was laid to rest in the
family lot. Her children and grand
children were all present at the fune-
raj. The floral offerings from her low
ed ones were beautiful. Among the
relatives who we're here for the fun
eral were Misses Anna and Ollie Wal
lis, nieces from st. Louis, Mrs. VIII
Magill from Hendrickson and James
Lovelace from Doniphan.
