seemed if anything to make her more
cOnsecrated. She was an unusual
character. She did not seem to be
conscious of her own weakness and
often genuine suffering, in her hon
est desire to be serving some one
else. 1t is only natural that she
should become beloved by all who
knew her and that her circle of
friends and acQuaintances should be

take it to her own home and nOurish
it and finally after her almost end
less pleading was permitted to adopt
it as her child. The passing of such
a life, short and unassuming though
it was, is a mighty loss to this COM

now go on alone and-just wait. The
funeral service was held in the
home, Rev. j. l.. Nichols officiating,
assisted by DR.. Frank IlersOn. The
interment was in the Odd Fellows
Cemetery.
