Church, of which she was an honored member. Her place was never vacant when health permitted her to attend. Many will miss her voice in the service of song. Faithfully discharging every duty of life she has earned the Master’s “Welcome good and faithful servant.” The funeral was held in the M.E. church by the pastor, Rev. W.J. Frizzell. The respect in which deceased was held was shown by the large concourse of friends who followed her remains to the “Silent City” to await the resurrection morn. The husband, mother, brothers and sisters have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement.
