On July 3rd. soon after the
midnight hour, the pure spirit of
Mrs. Judith Bruton Poole passed
into the great beyond.
She was born in April 1874, and
was therefore in her 10th year.
Her long career was filled with
self-sacrifcing service and gentle
kindness to one and all; she was

ready to help those in need. She
lived a life of perfect peace with
all and was a consecrated Chris

her daily guide.
