her son, Herman K. Mansfield. AL
though in a helpless condition she
apparently withstood the trip very
we'll and enjoyed her visit greatly.
Since her return her enfeebled con-
ditioh gradually grew worse until
Monday morning, as her pastor said,
"she fell asleep in Jesus, at the age
OF 81 years, z months and FL days.
