D.; Lew Neal, Jefferson, Oregon, and Victor Neal, of Akron; two sisters, Mrs. Claude Squires, of Centerville, S. D., and Mrs. Nora Lewis of Cherokee, Iowa; besides, a number of nieces and nephews.

A kind and devoted wife and mother, she will be missed by her neighbors and the many friends made during her long residence here.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the Rossow Funeral home, conducted by Rev. Orville N. Nelson, pastor of the Akron Methodist church. H. J. Behmer sang, with accompaniment by Mrs. W. J. Brunner. Interment was in Riverside cemetery.
