The funeral services were held in the Congregational church at Hartwick at 1 p.m. Friday, Rev. C.E. Wadby officiating. Cancer of the stomach was the cause of her death. She leaves 5 children, 25 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

The children are: J.L. McIlrath, Mrs. A.F. Warnick, Mrs. Margaret Creamer, of Moenville, South Dakota, Mrs. Agnes Bennett, of Covinal, California; N.H. McIlrath, of Hartwick.

She was a faithful Christian worker and her place will be hard to fill.
