Mrs. Buttolph has been in poor health for more than a year, but had grown stronger and it was hoped that she might live many years, but heart disease does not leave much room for hope.

The body was brought home Monday and the funeral was held from the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Mrs. Buttolph joined the Methodist church one year ago and was a loyal and faithful Christian woman. Her death is a great loss to the community and the church, but to the family it is so much more. The sympathy of the entire community is with them.- Bucklin Banner, Bucklin, Kansas.
