1t is not the purpose of this writer to enter
into an extensive eulogy of his subject. That
these lines have known the woman they refer
TO. and therefore living illnesses Of her
kind, true wife, mother, and friend. Is this
not great deal? Although / urdersnnd her
name graced church's roster. her life was
exemplariiy clean and Christian-Iike. Many
of her neighbOrs attest TO the loyalty of her
spirit and the generosity of her heart. Al
though no wife and mother were ever more
She nevertheless hers not of that narrow
interest which forgets and ignores others.
Surely the best of whatever awaits us m0rtals
beyond this life is rightfully hers.

Tulloch was not of that class of selfish moth

mothers sons fight the country's battles and
that her own son be speared the dangers and

that she loved her only dearly as a

active and efficient leadership.

And so, in summing up. although readily
agreed that the life of this fine little wife and
mother has been cut too short-that she was
plainly apparent, after ALL that she lived not
in vain. She accomplished her share of good
