Her eye sight came to her, so that she saw as good as she ever had, but it lasted only about four days. During this time all the children except Mrs Cora Michel came home for to see, and it was a joyous occasion for the aged suffer to see their faces again even if for only four days. Since then she has been totally blind. The funeral service was held Monday afternoon at the house conducted by Revs Baldridge and Patterson. Internment in Milroy cemetery. The floral offering were beautiful.
