FUNERAL OF MRS. PUlTZ

Last Saturday afternoon occurred
the funeral services. at the Presby-
terrain Church, of Mrs. Andrew VI.
PultZ. The church was filled with
the many friends hat she had made
during her brief life in Bookings. and
the strong manifestations of grief
were evidence that those who
mourn had lost one whom they loved
Rev. W. A. Mast conducted the ser.
vice. and spoke in a most feeling way
of her lovely character, cheerful
Christian spirit and conscientious life
The large attendance at TIE service
was a testimony of the high esteem
in which Mrs. Pultz was held in the
community.
In speaking of the departed. Mr..
Mast said these words:
I'VE wish to add this word of ap-
probation. Mrs. Pultz was a woman
who in her quiet way made a very
large and important place for herself
in the life of the community and In
the activity Of the church. She was
always thought of as the soul of 6del-
ity. The prevailing mood of her life
was cheerfulness and as a result her
words were always full Of hope and
cheer.
During the six years Of her resi-
dence in Brookings she made a cir.
Gle of friends who came to appreci.
ate her for her genuine merit and
for her loyalty to everything that was
for highest interest OF the church to
which she belonged. She will be
greatly missed in her home and In
the community but the memory Of
her useful and beautiful life remains
