sweet as little child asleep. Funeral

home Wednesday forenoon, Rev. Chas.
Oberg, of Portland, former pastor Of
Mrs. Hawthorne, officiating. M. ID.
Odell also assisted in the service and
the W. r. G. had their part in the SER
vice. While we know that the family
will feel keenly loneliness because she
has gone we realize that to few are
given the opportunities afforded by
many years association with one
whose life must ever prove a benedic-
tion and in this and like thoughts they
will find consolation.
