Court Holds Councils Must First

West Philadelphia citizens have lost

OBITUARY

Sarah Van Ness (nee Miller) was
born in Ohio on the sixth day of De-
cember, 1889, and departed this life
August %, 1918, at the age of 7S
years, 8 months and II days. In 1856
she was united in marriage to VIII
liam Van Ness. To this union were
born IL children, three dying in in
fancy and three in later life. Six
children survive her = Mrs. Lettie
Roddy of Berkeley, Mich; Mrs. A. NJ.
Kline of Traverse City, Mich; Bert of
Bryan, Ohio; Grant of Oakwood,
Ohio: George and Chance, who reside
with their mother near Tedrow. She
leaves to mourn their loss two daugh-
ters. four sons, ten grandchildren, and
one brother, Jacob Miller, of Delta,
Ohio.
About As years ago she was con-
verted and joined the United Breth-
ren church on the Ridge. Nature en-
dowed her with loving cheerful dis
position. No trials, though hard 70
bear, ever disturbed her strong faith
and trust in the Divine hand which
permitted them; and no words of COM
plant ever were heard from her lips.
She endeared herself to all with whom
she associated and the vacant place in
the home will be felt and her memory
cherished, but none can mourn that in
ripe old age she has gone from lis
to be united with the loved ones gone
before. Truly it might be said of her.
"She hath done what she could" A
patient mother and grandmother as
well, she has left US an example of
a life worthy of imitation. The funeral
was held Sunday afternoon at the
Ridge church, the Rev. R. R. Risley
officiating.
