herself to any church, she had, several years ago, expressed a hope in Christ, 
she ever lived a quiet life, peaceful, unobstrusive life, hereby showing hte 
acceptance and love of God in her heart. As a daughter, wife, and mother she 
was ever dutiful, kind, and affectionate. Death came to her suddenly and 
unexpectedly, she yeilded up her soul peacefully. Her mother, brothers, 
sisters and husband are joined by a large troop of friends who mourn for her.
