A RIPE OLD AGE

Just past the noon hour Saturday there passed into the great beyond a spirit of a kindly old lady, one who had withstood the storms, and enjoyed the sunshine of their life for more than eighty-seven years, her exact age not being known, because of the family records being in her old home Ireland, which she had left many years ago. She has been ill more than two months and death was a happy release from a long life, and she has passed to the heavens, her strong faith in the Methodist church had taught her to believe in.

She leaves several children and grandchildren to mourn her death. They are Mrs. George Mann, living near Elvira: Mrs. Charles Francis, living near Camanche; Mrs. Sam Kelly, of Elvira; Mrs. J. O. Jellison, and Mr. William Smith, the marble cutter and their children.
The funeral will occur from the residence on North Second street, Monday forenoon, at 10:30, with interment in the Camanche cemetery.
