She was an acceptable member of the Methodist Church and had been from the days of her youth. She was sick eleven days and suffered greatly but was perfectly resigned to her Savior's will. She said she was ready and that the way was bright before her. She leaves a husband, one son and five daughters and an aged father and mother together with many relatives and friends who mourn their loss. Weep and bereaved ones as those who have no hope for you can meet her in heaven. R.A. MCCLINTOCK
