She was a woman of refined character and an unselfish, loving disposiiton, always striving for that which would improve and enrich life, a true helpmate and a lover of her threshold and household tasks.

An ardent admirer of the great beauties of Nature and a devotee of literature especially poetry with which she passed many rich moments.

During the last few years of her life, invalidism overcame her but bearing with patience and ever hoping for a ray of improvement.

Dear Mother your going is as the passing of a beautiful flower or an exquisite melody but the sweetness and echo remain and the goodness and tenderness radiated by your life will linger as a vibrant forse in the lives of those you loved best and by whom you were so deeply loved.

Funeral services were held Sunday, June 30th, at Center Chapel, conducted by Rev. Caughlan of Keosauqua assisted by Rev. Sawtell of Mt. Sterling.
