who gave it. She was a splendid
type of the true christian character,
Her remains were buried in the Grav-

ducter by Rev. Phillips of the Prim-
tive church. She leaves a husband and
two small children, father and mother
and brother and sister and host of
friends as evidenced By the unusual
crowd that attended the funeral, to
mourn her loss. The occasion was
especially sad because of leaving the
little children in this sinful world
without the loving care of mother.
