The death of Mrs. Louisa Schultz,
which occurred in our city, Tuesday
last, June %, 1918, removes from our
midst another of those Christian
mothers, whose place in the home and
the church will be hard to fill. Every
obligation that came to her as the
mother, and neighbor was SO complete
~ met as to make her memory sweet
benediction to those who remain here.
She was intensely loyal to her church
obligations, and she will ever be re-
membercd a. one who was ready at
oil times in her health to do what she
could to advance her Masters cause.
There is crown in heaven for such
mothers a. Louisa Schultz.
Mary Louisa Hoffman was born in
New albany, Floyd county, Indiana,
February 70. 1852. and passed away
at her home in Oregon, June -, 1913,
