Being well and favorably known there a large congregation attended the funeral. Eight children and a husband had gone before her, and three, Mrs. Mary Thornton, of Des Moines, Will and John P., of Castalia, yet remain. She was a worthy member of the U.B. church for many years. A good woman has gone from us.
