On Jan. 27, Mrs. Emery Horn
er fell asleep at the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Terry Nc
Cutler. She was born Aug. IL,
1899, being q years 5 months and
Is days old at the time of her
death. She was married to Em-
cry Horner Jan. 20, 1918 and to
them was born one child.
She was loving daughter and
and adevoted wife. Besides her
husband and sweet baby, she
leaves father, mother, two sis
ters, one brother and a host of
friends to mourn her loss.
She was sick a little more than
a week and all that loving and
tender care, medical skill could
do to stay the hand of death, was
done, but God knew best and
took her home. Silently she en-
tered that land undimmed by
shadows where there are no more
heart-aches and no sorrows. She
left us the memory of her unset
fish and beautiful life while on
earth. We laid her away under
a mound of flowers to await the
time when we, too, must answer
the summons and Jein her in that
home beyond the stars"
1T may be in the better land,
Well read the meaning of oul
tears;
And then, sometime we'll un-
derstand. /"
