from an attack Of paralysis in the
69th year Of her age. She was
well known and her demise uni

near Kenton. He was man of
more than usual ability, widely
known and from his local prom |
inence arose the fact that more
persons sought him to perform the

other minister Of the section. Mr.. |
and Mrs. Wilds, after their mar
riage, lived on a farm near Ken |
ton until they moved to this town
about thirty years ago. Mrs. Wilds |
had the elements Of a strong char
acter firm, decided, and resolute
where faith and principle were ar
stake, though with it was a shrink
ing and retiring temperament, that
modified the other qualities that
eminently fitted her for leadership. 1
Her faith was of that simple but
strong character which the great
est trials failed to shake; she look \
ed as seeing Him who is invisible /
and on His promises securely rest 1
ed. From her youth she was a
member Of the NJ E. Church and
M communicate paid it a more
willing and faithful allegiance. She
leaves but two children, Mrs. Eu- 4
gene Crow, near town, and N. r. \
Wilds, cashier Of the Fruit Grow \

affection between her and her chill
dren was very strong and from
