Funeral was held at her home, on the 7th Inst., services by Rev. Mr. Hamilton, and there were present a delegation of the relief corps, of which deceased was a member, who gave her remains the solemn obsequies of that order. Also a large delegation of the G.A.R. men and Odd Fellows, who acted as pallbearers and escort to Buchanan cemetery, followed by a large concourse of relatives and neighbors, plainly showing the fact that none knew her but to love her, and her many acts of kindness will be remembered, although from earth she is gone.

Beistle, the Ladies’ Relief Corps, for the beautiful flowers and for assistance in the burial, not forgetting Mr. J.F. Hahn, the undertake, for the able way in which he conducted the funeral.
