In the passing on of Henrietta Cole S
Foote, at Medina, March 2, the Me- t
lima Baptist church lost one who had t
been actively a member of the church Y
since 1867. She was a noble char v
acter and had lived an example of the r
christian life, such as few can equal, j
I any excel. She had spent her life h
or her family and had almost hid a $
literary talent which she should have t
exercised in larger way. n
AT the age of ten she wrote some o
ines on the truant school bow, and d
continued to write verses more or
ess all her life, even composing v
'oem for the 80 wedding anniversary S
# her sister, Mrs. C. F. Warren, last
August. None of her poems has b
ver been published. When her son h
2. H. Foote was in Denison college Il
!e used several Of her poems in a a
literary society program, and urged l
Ter to allow him to send them to the s.
ournal and Messenger, but she said O
No! I'm too old to begin publishing o
'oems." E b
During her life she was an inces- t.
ant reader, preferring things Of y
erious nature, especially enjoying b
he classics and religious works. She b
'lso had wide interest in national Il
'roblems, and held strong convictions n
n all things which interested her. e
