mothers death Lola was taken into
the home of her mothers sister,
Mrs. Lavina Chambers of New Eng

she had fall which caused a cur
vature of the spine. She was great
ly handicapped by this affliction
during her life. She bore her trials
with Christian fortitude. She said
that she never let the clouds of her
life overshadow the lives of others.
After the death of father and
aunt, she lived with relatives and

The body was taken to Sturgess,

pain. Hark! they whisper: Angels
