den, passed away at their home at

s, 1916, aged 72 years, 2 months
and % days. The funeral servi-
ces were conducted by her pas
tor, Rev. j. M. Fenton, who in
accordance with Mrs. Madden's
request, preached from Revela-
ton 21:4.
Her body was laid to rest in
the little cemetery just above the

Mrs. Madden had always been
a devoted and fond mother, and
her absence in the home will be
deeply felt. For many years she
had been a faithful Christian and
a member of the Old School Bap-
tist Church located in Springfield
township, two miles from her
village home. She always loved
to go to the little meeting house
and during her last years when
she could-no longer 90, her pas
tor would some times conduct
services in her home.
Her mind was stored with
beautiful hymns, and with choice
passages from Gods Holy Word
which proved a great comfort in
declining days, and robbed death
of all its terrors.
