The house was crowded with sympathizing friends at the funeral, which took place Tuesday at 1 P. M., conducted by Rev. Mr. Danner. She was earnest, concientious and warm hearted in her associations and work in the community, and especially in her home life and was highly esteemed by all who knew her.
