the Rev. E. C. Crouch.  Interment was in the family lot in Crown Hill 
Cemetery. 
   Mrs. Ralls passed away at her home Friday afternoon, December 2, 
after a few days' illness of bronchial pneumonia.  While she had been 
in a delicate state of health for some years and had not been so well 
for the past week or so, he condition was not considered immediately 
critical and her passing came as a shock to her family and friends.

was born in Sharpsburg June 21, 1884.  He childhood, following the 
death of her parents, which occurred at an early age, was spent at 
Mt. Sterling under the care of her maternal grandparents, she lived 
at Sharpsburg with her cousin, Mrs. James W. Shankland, and Mr. 
Shankland, now of Owingsville, until her marriage to Mr. Ralls 
February 18, 1900.  She came of pioneer families, who traced their 
lineage back to Revolutionary times, and who were among the early 
settlers in this part of Kentucky.  It was one of her grandparents, 
in the Moffett line, who donated the land on which Old Springfield 
church now stands, in the early 1790's. 
   Besides her husband and her cousin, Mrs. Shankland, she is survived 
only by a few distant relatives.
