days.

When ll years of age she was converted in the
Christian faith and united
with the Fairview Christian Church near her
birthplace and home. She
lived a devoted and cheerful Christian life;
patient in her affliction
and suffering and always having a word of
comfort and good cheer for
those who were near and dear in her family
and social circle. For the
past seven months she had been afflicted with
tuberculosis and bore her
suffering patiently and without a murmur,
constantly asking her Heavenly
Father to help her to overcome through faith
in Christ, her Savior.

She was united in marriage to LEE CRAIN,
November 2l, l904, and to this
union were born four children: MAUDE and
EVALYN, and two dying in
infancy. She leaves to mourn her demise her
husband; two daughters;

Pleasanton; three sisters, MRS. CORA
LAFOLLETTE, of Cainsville, Mo.;
MRS. ALICE HINDMAN, of Palmer, Neb.; MRS.
ELIZABETH BLACK, of Eldorado,
Mo.; all being present during her last
illness.

A large concourse of relatives and neighbors
accompanied the remains
from their home to Fairview Church, where the
schoolmates and friends of
former years had assembled to pay their last
respects to the departed.
After a brief song and prayer service the
writer preached the funeral
sermon from the third chapter of Colossians
and fourth verse; "When
Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then
shall ye also appear with
him in glory." At the close of the sermon
the remains in the beautiful
white casket were viewed by the large
congregation present and then kind
and loving hands placed them in the tomb
beside her grandparents in
Fairview Cemetery to await the Master's call
at the great day when Jesus
should return to gather his jewels for
himself.
