July 24th, l903, MRS. ELLA G. POTTS died at her home near Scott City,

Scott County, Kan. She was the only daughter of MR. and MRS. J.C.

CRIDER, of High Point, Ia., the joy and sunshine of her parents and only

brother. She remembered her Creator in early youth, accepting Jesus as

her never failing Savior and guide. In the fall of l894 she yielded her

life to God through Christ and his spirit, and on October l2th was

buried in baptizm to walk in newness of life uniting with the Brethren

Church at Crown Chapel, remaining true and faithful, preparing in life

to meet the end of her journey here and begin life eternal "over there."

Her life was filled with gentleness, purity, kindness and love. Her

school days were joyous and happy and in her amiable nature was naught

but warmth and affection for her schoolmates and friends.

In the spring of l90l, when earth was putting on new beauty and

freshness, she was married to EDDIE M. POTTS. After spending a short

time in Joplin, Mo., her husband's home, she moved to Kansas, a loving

and happy bride, full of life and animation with the rich hopes of a

bright future opening to them. To add joy and brightness to their home

was given a little daughter, now nine months old. The little one with

her papa, a loving and kind husband, her father and mother, and only

brother and grandmother are left to mourn her loss, with many other

relatives and friends. At the age of 2l years, 9 months and 6 days she,

in peace, passed away from our midst.
