Rives, of Greenfield. She was the mother of 10 children, three of whom has preceded her to the "home above." Mrs. Rives was a woman whom to know was to love; a true and faithful wife, a tender and loving mother, a kind and considerate neighbor. In her death the church loses a most devoted member. Her religion was not a mere profession, but a reality, being to her "more than meat and drink." She was in every respect a model woman. Her sterling qualities of mind and soul commanded the respect, admiration and love of all with whom she came in contact. "Her price was above rubies." She leaves to mourn her departure two brothers and two sisters, a husband, with whom she shared life's joys and sorrows for 46 years, six sons and one daughter, whose memories of mother will ever be pleasant and sacred. The funeral services will be held at the family residence on Friday, February 2, being conducted by the minister who also performed the marriage ceremony, Rev. Henry Stubblefield, her six sons bearing her remains to their last resting place.
