EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE

Mr.. c. F. Ward and children here
by return their heartfelt thanks for
the great kindness shown them in
so many ways by friends during the
lines and funeral of their wife and
mother.
AS night brings out the steady glow
of stars so does sorrow call forth the
sympathy and tender ministrations
of neighbors and true friends. No
family in town has more relatives and
devoted friends than Mr.. Wards and
during the trying time Of their sud
den bereavement everything possible
was done to relieve the sorrow and
shocking change in the happy home
circle.
Friends came and cheered them in
all helpful ways, relieving them of
cares and thoughts of domestic nee
essities and sending more automo-
biles for the funeral than could be
used. The many beautiful flowers
were also highly appreciated as tri-
butes of esteem and affection. Each
one of these kind friends will ever
be held in loving remembrance by
each member of Mr.. Wards fami-
ly.
