passed to the Great Beyond at the
home of her brother, Gay Bradley,
near British Hollow, Monday evening,
March 8, at the age of 45 years, six
months and some days. She had con-
tracted a disease when quite young
that rendered her unable to do any
kind of work. All that medical skill
could provide was done for her but to
no avail. She was a patient sufferer
and in the long years of her illness
bore her sufferings with the fortitude
of a Christian. She had the loving and
patient care of a dear old mother who
preceded her to the grave, as did the
father, a few years ago. Since the
death of her mother, the afflicted
daughter was tenderly cared for by
her only brother and sisters living
nearby. The funeral took place Fri
day afternoon and burial was made in
the British Hollow cemetery where lie
the father and mother.
