All who knew her mourn her loss as that of a dear friend.
The funeral obsequies were made at the M. E. church in this city, Rev. E. B. Perry officiating, at 2 p.m. Sunday and her remains were laid to rest in the Onaga cemetery. A large circle of friends tender their sympathies to the bereaved children and grandchildren.
