RANDALIA.

The funeral of Mrs. Electa Bratt was held at the G.A.R. Hall at 10:30 Nov. 11th. Her age was about 50 years. She leaves a husband, Wm. A. Bratt, three daughters and one son to mourn her death. She has been a sufferer for about three years with lung and heart trouble and occasional strokes of paralysis and other ailments that none but an unusually strong constitution could have borne so long. Her noble traits are deserving of the highest praise here and a home of eternal bliss in heaven. A consistent christian, member of the Baptist church, good wife, affectionate mother, generous, well beloved neighbor, always willing to assist in charitable enterprise and sickness. At the close of the service the W.R.C. of which the deceased was an active member, when able, formed around the casket and read their appropriate ritual. The remains were interred in Dunham's grove cemetery.
