In the years of her association with us. she won lasting place in our re- gard by both her many lovely per- sonal attributes and her unwearied devotion to the interests of the Chamber of Commerce. Her unusual mental ability enabled her to see the work of the chamber in its larger aspects, and was a potent factor in the place it occupies among organi- cations of like character.

Her helpful friendliness and un- wavering kindliness have endeaved her to us, and we shall long mourn her loss.
