Earlham - MRS. ELIZABETH HIGHTOWER

Last Tuesday morning the spirit of Mrs. Hightower took its flight to the God who gave it. Mrs. Hightower had been an invalid for many years, but while she was shut in from the world, the world was not shut out from her and she was perhaps better known and better loved, and will be missed more than if her body had been strong and well.

A beautiful funeral service was held at the Friends church, of which she was a faithful member, Wednesday afternoon at 2:30. She was laid to rest beneath a bed of beautiful flowers, to await the resurrection morn and her beautiful life will still live on in the hearts of the people whom she has loved and helped during the years she has been with us.
