sumbent upon the counties to make
provision for the payment of One-third
of the cost Of construction; Therefore

Whereas, Mrs. Charles W. Powell

, died at her home in Viroqua, April 8
1920, it is fitting that this body leavr
: la grateful testimony u her memory.
Mrs. POWELL was the finest type o
womanhood; kind, courteous, consid
crate of the needs of others. Rarely
. indeed, do we find one in whom earnes
= Christian life is exemplified in ever,
thought, deed and action as it was j
this noble womaa's life. She was
lady whose acquaintance was one tina
will always be remembered by thos
who were privileged to make it.
In her position as Matron of tn
lAlms House no one saw more clearl
= than she did the necessity of labor I
make the unfortunate under her car
comfortable. This she gave willingl!
She knew no hours; any time, day Q
night, she, with that motherly kind
. ness which so characterized her lif,
/ responded to any and all appeal
!. This she did until nature rebelled an
snapped the brittle thread of life an
her soul was waited into that hon
10 above, that house not made with hand
Conscious of the loss which Verno
q County has sustained, conscious Of II
=" deep affection and the grief in Il
Y hearts of those with whom she worke
we desire to express to the family
deep sympathy and an understandin
= of grief which is shared with ther
=" Therefore Be 1t,
Resolved, That this Board, in beha
