farmer living near town, died at her
home. Saturday morning. at 3 o.
clock. About two weeks ago Mrs.

and death came in the early morning
hours. This community was shocked
to hear of the death of one they ad-
mired and loved so well. The highest
tributes have been paid her by the
family and neighbors. A faithful wife,
devoted mother and true friend, was
Mrs. Steen. and, IN the home circle
her place can not be filled. She had
