A little more than three years ago she was stricken with paralysis, since which time she was confined to her bed. The last week was to her one of intense agony. Rev.

Services at the house and burial in the St. Charles cemetery on Monday afternoon. This most excellent christian wife and mother is mourned by her faithful husband and a large family of sons and daughters all grown to man and womanhood, who, with the exception of one daughter, Mrs. D.
