The burial service was conducted at the Hanover church on Saturday. Mrs. Helen Hatch White and Mr. Verne Hatch sang beautifully at the service that was conducted by the Rev. R. McMenamin. The sermon was preached from the text: "Each shall have his own reward according to his own labor." 1st Corinthain 3-8.
In the sermon, the qualities of Mrs. Bibbins christian life were enumerated and her rewards here on earth were spoken of as consisting of the happiness of her life, the love and esteem of her neighbors, the memory of her, that she has left behind as a monument to herself.
The remains of this beloved neighbor and friend was laid to rest in the old cemetery at Moscow.

The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar." [taken from obit, spelling same as in paper]
