oBrrUARY-MRs. DRUMMoND

Early last Tuesday morning Mrs. ].
J. Drummond died at her home after
long and painful illness, death was
due to anemia and her illness extend
ed over a period of two years Mary
Elizabeth Robinson was born in Bel
mont county, Ohio, April 18th, 1855.
making her sixty three years of age
at the time of her death. On Novem-
ber 8th, 1897, she was united in mar
riage to ]. j. Drummond of this city,
Miss Lois Drummond who survises
her mother was the only child born to
this union. From childhood Mrs.
Drummond. belonged to the Presby-
terian church and was a true and
conscientious christian practicing the
precepts which she had been taught
from her early youth. She was well
know throughout Trego county hav-
ing for number of years been asso-
ciated in the hotel business and none
ever entered her home without a
warm welcome nor left without feel
ing the warmth of a true and gem
uine hospitality. She was proverbially
kind to the poor and unfortunate and
many philantropic deeds will long be
remembered that she performed with
out the heralding of trumpets or a
recompense in gold but were done out
of kindness of her heart which beat
in sympathy for others. A more de-
voted wife and mother would be hard
to find, and kinder friend and neigh
Dor could not be desired and her loss
is a keen one to her family and
friends. The far reaching influence of
her life has not ceased and as the
text which Rev. Allison spoke so fit
tingly from, "That at even tide it
shall be light" so shall the light of
her life shed its rays on the path
way of those left to mourn guiding
them on in the way of everlasting
peace and right.
The funeral was held at the home
at 2:3O o'clock on Wednesday after
noon, Rev. Allison conducting the
service and being assisted by the o.
E. S. of which order the deceased was
member. The floral offerings were
very beautiful S. C. Robinson ard
family from Utica were present at
the funeral, Mr.. Robinson being the
only brother. who was able to get
here. Besides her husband and only
daughter, there are two brothers and
a number of nephews and nieces left
to mourn her loss. The interment was
made in the Wa-Keeney cemetery
