BILLINGS, MONT:
Mrs. Clyde Huffman. Formerly Of This
County, Claimed by the Grim
Reaper Oeakh
DEATH FOLLOWS AN OPERATION
Remains Brought to Oenson and In
terment Made in Oakland Gene
terry. on Friday Last.

Libbie G. Goodrich, daughter OF Us
car and Lucy Goodrich, was born in
Crawford county. Iowa, May 10, 1883.
She died at the hospital in Billings,
Mont, on May %, 1917, at the age OF
80 years and days.
The subject of this sketch grew to
womanhood in Crawford county. On
Jan. "a, 1900, she was united in mar
rage to Mr.. Clyde II. Huffman. In a
few weeks after their marriage the
young couple went to Cody, Wyo.,
where they lived for eleven years.
Then they moved to Hardin. Mont.
where they have since resided.
During the seventeen years OF their
welded life it was theirs to live in
full measure Of happiness. She was
true helpmeet to her husband. Ot
great industry and good business aDil-
ity, she wrought faithfully and we'll.
To her husband gives most generous
praise for the prosperity that has re-
warded their labOrs.
But she was not slave to business.
She recognized her obligation to So
ciety and earnestly sought to dis
charge it, Living in a state where
women enjoyed the elective franchise,
she took deep interest in civic at
fairs. She was an ardent worker for
prohibition. giving not only time but
money that she might help free her
state from the curse OF strong drink.
She was a woman of devout mind.
Not many weeks before her death she
expressed to her husband her faith
in her Savoir. And to her consistent
christian life her husband attributed
his own salvation. .. ~,
Perhaps the most striking evidence
of her faith is to be found in the serv-
ice she rendered to her fellow men.
Living under pioneer conditions, there
were many calls to minister to the sick
and needy. With her this was as the
call of God. Her response was so
generous that it might be said OF her.
This woman was fun OF food works
and alms-deeds which she did" Here
is striking evidence of a spirit filled
life. In our shortsightedness 1t seems
strange that one in the prime OF life,
ono so useful should be claimed by
the grim reaper. We can not under
stand, but we can trust our heavenly
Father, saying, mot my will, but thine
be done"
She had been suffering for some
time. At last it seemed that an oper-
alton was the only thing that would
give relief. She was taken to the hos
pital at Billings and on Saturday last
the operation was performed. She
seemed to be making a good recovery,
but on Tuesday morning alarming
symptoms developed and in few
hours "she was not for God had taken
her" 49,
She leaves to mourn her early de-
parture a husband, father and mother,
four sisters and two brothers, besides
many other relatives.
Many old friends and neighbors will
Join in this sorrow and will extend to
The bereaved their heartfelt sympathy.
The body Of Mrs. Huffman was
brought to Denison and taken to the
nome of Mr.. and Mrs. w. V. Huffman.
Funeral services were held from the
residence Friday at O'Clock p. m. A
arge number of old friends and rela-
ives were in attendance. The services
we're conducted by Rev.S:J. L. Boyd,
pastor of the First Methodist church
If Denison. Interment was made in

he parents and all the brothers and
sisters were in attendance at the fun
