She was a most unselfish wife and mother, never sparing herself if others were in need. In all her intercourse with the neighbors and friends she was honest upright and true. Her life has been a benediction to all who knew her. The funeral will be held at the home at 2 pm and at 2:30 from the Marion street church, Saturday, January 7.
