Special to the Journal.
Cambridge, Dec. 7--Mrs. Mary L. Pulis passed away at the home of her son L. G. Pulis in Des Moines Monday evening. 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 eight-fifth year had she live until Marsh. A sufferer for many years, her house was set in order and has been heard many time to express her 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, Florida. The latter was unable to be present at last obsequies. Her husband passed away several years ago while they were yet residents of Cambridge.

A Christian life has done with earth and earthly things. A loving mother who has lived in the way she might wish her children to follow. Burial in the family lot near Independence, Iowa. Among those from Cambridge who attended the funeral held at the Lily Undertaking parlors were: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Applegate, Dr. and Mrs. Hoover, Mr. and Mrs. D. Ingles, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Larson and Mrs. Neal.
