MEMORY OF MRS. J. S. BELKNAP
(By Gladys Alexander)
On January 5, 1929, (sic) the death angel visited the home of Grandma
Belknap and called her home.  Grandma was 76 years, 6 months old, and was
a member of the Primitive Baptist church.  She leaves her husband and six
children beside other relatives and a host of friends, but we realize our
loss, is Heaven's gain, and we can only say to her loved ones, you cannot
call her back, but by the grace of God, you can go where she is.  The
writer, from a personal knowledge knows that Grandma was always ready to
help those about her to bear burdens of live having a smile and a good
word for every one.
