sha to make her home with her daugh-
ter. She was woman of rare personal
charm, of intellectual development, of
an unusually happy disposition. Since
she had made her home in Kenosha she
had been active, in work among the
women of the city. Before her last
illness she had taken the greatest in
terest in the work of the American Red
Cross.
The funeral services will be held
from the Welles home on Park avenue
at four O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
The interment will be private.
