She was always a consistent devoted Christian and died with a strong faith in which she had always lived. She leaves two sons and three daughters. The latter, Mrs. J. B. Sullivan of Indianapolis, Mrs. J. P. Lewis of Lancaster, Wisconsin and Mrs. Snyder are here to tend the funeral, which will be held at 2 o'clock to day.
