She was a member of the Methodist church and was an ardent Christian woman who was known as such in her every day life and who was most highly respected and honored by a large circle of acquaintances. Mrs. Veach leaves but two children living out of a large family, Mrs. J. R. Bradley and J. R. Veach, both of Centerville. She also left several other relatives, brothers and sisters who will deeply mourn her loss.
