her home was full of young girls, and
in all of their enjoyments she took
deep interest. She had no malice and
was never heard to speak an unkind
word of any individual.

paid high tribute to her life and
character. Rev. l.. F. Percy, the re-
Gently assigned pastor, assisted in the
services. The building was full of
sympathizing friends.
At the close of the church services

There were many beautiful white
flowers, mathematical of the pure life
lived by the deceased.
