OBITUARY

MRS. LAURA TRAIL

Funeral services for Mrs. Laura M. TRAIL who died at the Jefferson County hospital, March 16, 1922, were conducted by Rev. Willey at McDowell chapel Saturday afternoon at two thirty o'clock and she was laid to rest beside her husband R. M. TRAIL, who preceded her in death thirty-one years ago.

Mrs. TRAIL was a woman of sound judgment and practical ideas and will be sadly missed not only by her own family but by a host of friends who had been drawn to her by her cheery disposition and her sterling qualities.

In the quiet and unpretentious way so characteristic of her she was a true Christian and a deep thinker ever looking for strength to a Higher Power and faithfully endeavoring to make her life acceptable in the sight of the Savior whom she had loved from girlhood.

Moreover she was quick to pass the serength (sic - strength) along wherever she saw that a word of sympathy might help.

She lived by the Golden Rule and looked for the good side of every situation seeing the virtues rather than the faults in her friends and acquaintances.

Every effort was made to restore her to health but of no avail and the sympathy she ever extended to others comes back to her family in their bereavement.

Realizing that human skill could do no more for her she stated that she was not afraid to die and patiently enduring the suffering which could not be allayed resigned herself with Christian faith into the hands of her Maker.

Thus passed a woman whom anyone may be proud to have called "friend" and whose influence will be long felt by those who knew her best.
