was known to her many friends, at
the time of her death, was the Old
est native-born resident of Chester

this vicinity A devoted member OF
the Methodist church, as was her
father and mother before her, she
attended services regularly untll
prevented by her illness. For many
years she owned and managed thel
only hotel in the village, and long
will be remembered for her excellent
meals served and for her gracious
hospitality. Her life was one OF sac
