indomitable will and energy, and for many years was very successful in business 
ventures, and was conducting a hotel at the time of her departure for the 
hospital. her remains were brought to Calhoun Sunday evening and interment 
Monday afternoon. Rev. Kelley, pastor of the South methodist Church, of which she 
was a member, conducting the funeral services, which were attended by nearly 
the entire community and quite a number of friends from Windsor and Clinton. A 
great profusion of flowers marked the love of personal friends and the Rebekahs, 
of which order she was a member, the lodge attending the funeral in a body. Miss
