Two brothers have preceded her in death, one of whom was killed in the San Francisco disaster; also one sister, the first wife of Howard Baird. There are six grandchildren. She also leaves three brothers, Gilbert McGill of Ottumwa, Chester McGill of Centralia, Wash., and Cella of St. Joseph, Mo., and many other relatives, kind neighbors and true friends.

Slack of Libertyville. The singing was by the Douds quartet, and Mrs. Clare McClure sang a solo. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Interment was made in Mt. Moriah.
