leaves a loving husband and father, one brother and a sister to mourn

her departure.

She had been a continual sufferer for some time until death relieved her

and she passed away to a brighter land where suffering is no more, and

God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more

death, neither sorrowing nor crying, neither shall there be any more

pain for the former things have passed away. Her departing words were

that she wanted her friends to meet her in Heaven.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Houston and she was laid to

rest in the Elm Cemetery. Those who still survive her are: ROBERT
