MRS. C. W. SHEETS

Anna Leota Hanan, second daughter of G. T. and Mary DeHart Hanan, was born Feb. 26, 1873, near Mt. Sterling, and died July 11, 1926, at her home near Keosauqua, aged 53 years, 4 months and 15 days.

On March 15, 1899, she became the wife of C. W. Sheets and to this union were born seven children, six sons and one daughter, all of whom were present at the time of her going, except Ray of Milwaukee, Wis.

She leaves to mourn their loss, besides her husband and children, her father, three sisters and one brother. Her mother and one brother preceded her to the Eternal Home.

In her girlhood days she united with the M. E. church and later with the Christian church of Keosauqua.

Always quiet and unassuming and with her heart and hands full of home duties she will be sadly missed in the family circle as well as among her many friends.

"God's finger touched her, and she slept."

Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon at Center Chapel, Rev. E. L. Nickle conducting the services.
