OBITUARY

Sarah Ermina Jones was born at
Randolph, Crawford county, Pennsyl-
vania, March %, 1880, being the
fourth child in family of eight
children. During her girlhood days
her father moved with his family to
Henry, Illinois. Here she was united
in marriage with Morris Huffman,
March IL, 1868. To this union were
born two children, Arthur Jones
Huffman and Sarah Alice Huffman,
now Mrs. Ed. M. Mills. The son, Ar
thur, passed away some twenty years
ago, in 1897. In 1910 Mr.. and Mrs.
Huffman moved to Haviland, Kansas,
to make their home with their duagh-
ter, Mrs. E. M. Mills. The following
year, 1911, Mr.. Huffman passed away
and in 1917 along with her daughter
and family Mrs. Huffman moved to
Liberal, Kansas, where on the third
of December, 1919, she passed peace
fully away at the ripe age of 80
years, months and 10 days. During
the latter years of her life she has
been unable to care for herself, but
she was lovingly and tenderly cared
Dor by her daughter, Mrs. Mills, who
has devoted her time and strength in
caring for her aged mother. From
early childhood she was faithful,
earnest and consistent member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, her
father and two of her brothers hav-
ing been ministers of this denomina-
ton. Her greatest ambition during
her long and useful life was to live a
genuine and consistent Christian life.
Among her cherished thought treas
ures were found the following:
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on Thee"
''My God, My Father, while l stray
Far from my home in life's rough
way,
o teach me from my heart to say,
THY will be done.'"
The body was taken to Haviland
where funeral services were held in
the Methodist Church, conducted by
Rev. Hamilton. Her body was laid
to rest in the Haviland cemetery by
the side of her husband.

to preserve the health that old dame
nature gave us, to ripe old age, is
by giving ourselves the best of care
to keep regular habits, to restore our
tissues with the proper sort of food
and drink, to regain expended energy
by the proper amount of rest.

pretty apt to get out of it every
