years the Marcum family of this
place has been comfortably situated in
an inviting home, but the death of the
mother, which occurred last week,
necessitates the parting from the
many valuable household goods, cher
ished since childhood, by the surviving
members of the family, who decided
to sell the residence and its contents,
and to break up housekeeping. This
action was the request of the mother,
made short time before she passed
away, The children will visit other
homes, deliberately furnished, but they
will never enter one that will have

which they spent many happy years of

Sublett, of Cane Valley, who is eighty

Of CampbellsVille, gave a history of

respectable, and we trust they will
continue to call an annual gathering
