of a family of eight children of which

Pennington when twelve years old,
she came To Emblem and then to
North Arson, where the remainder Of
her life has been spent. Early in
life she was married to George Gopp
of Emblem and was the mother OF
seven children, all of whom are now
living. Although her large family
made necessary long hours of care
and toll. she was always of cheerful
sunny disposition, ready and willing
at all times to help those in need Of
her services, and many were heard to

into the church, four by confession
and nine by letter. Owing to illness
two others were unable to he received.
These will be received with several
