into heavenly portals Sunday. JAN

coyery was unlikely. She was then
taken to Luther Hospital, Watertown,

tention and hospital care in the hope
that her life might be heightened.

patient the benefit of their wide ex-
perience and knowledge for exactly
three months, but there was a Doctor
of greater mind, Our Lord, who knew
the best cure, and thus took her
away from this earthly home to a
better home where all is joy and
gladness. F.
