Junction which place has been their residence since. For more
than twenty-seven years Mrs. Belangee had been a great sufferer
but without complaint. Loving hands always ministered to her
comfort and she was quite happy in the love of her family. Early
in life she gave herself to Christ and had always been a
blameless disciple of Him. She was a faithful member of the M. E.
church _____ dependent. The funeral services were held from the
M. E. church in Grand Junction Friday afternoon, Dec. 15, the
pastor officiating,. The body was laid away to rest in the city
cemetery.
