illness of some months. She took treat

the age of nine years she and her Wild

resided for time in the eastern part
of this state and since 1872 the fam

Robinson, VAIL Mrs. Minnie Alley,

len nberger, who is serving with Uncle
Sans forces in France, along with
Adam Short her second husband, and
their three children, Marion, Kenneth
and Eunice, all Of Vail, are left to
mourn her loss. She was faithful
member of the Presbyterian church
for many years. She was a woman
who was always ready to extend
helping hand to neighbor or friend

greet them. She was president OF the

wonderful way. The funeral services
