our entire community early Wednes-

caused from a cancer.
She had seemed in her usual health
until two weeks ago when she was
taken suddenly worse. ALI that med
ical aid and kind hands could do to
ease her sufferings was done. Her
last days were days of untold misery
which she bore bravely, as was her
disposition all through her life. new
er thinking of herself but trying to
do for others. Drs. Hastings, Prime
and Alien were called but God had
called her and it was of no avail.

the absent ones. She will be most
missed by those who knew her best.
