Pulis, in Des Moines, December 7. Mrs. Pulis though an invalid for fifty years, was in her usual state of health and enjoyed her Thanksgiving dinner with her son and family with no thought of the death angel that hovered so near the home and ere the even fell one of their number should be mortally stricken. During the afternoon Grandma Pulis was taken suddenly ill and passed into a stupor and remained in that condition until the final summons. Mrs. Pulis would have reached her eighty-fifth year had she lived until March. A sufferer for many years, her house was set in order and she had…. Longing and desire that the Master would claim His own. She leaves three sons, W. I. and L. G., of Des Moines, Ray, of Omaha, and a daughter, Mrs. Lena Holmes, of Miami, Fla.
