To this union were born two daughters, Mrs. Dave Bell and Mrs. Earl Smith of Clarion. These with the husband, three brothers and one sister, remain to mourn her loss. While yet a girl she confessed her faith in Christ and became a member of the Church of Christ. When the Church was organized at Clarion, Mrs. Sumners became a charter member and gave of her best thought and prayers for its progress. Mr. and Mrs. Sumners came to make their home in and near Clarion some forty-three years ago and few people have formed more friends. Funeral services were held at the Church of Christ Thursday afternoon conducted by Rev. T. T. Holton of Bloomfield, Ill. assisted by her pastor Rev. H. L. Lewis. In performing this last service Rev.
