Dicie was a woman who had winning ways and she was truly loved by all who knew her. She was a strong christian character and ever stood for those higher principles and ideals of life. Until the time her health began to decline she devoted herself to the care of an invalid mother. She devoted was she to her mother that she gave up ambition to receive a higher education rather than to leave her mother. Truly she was one of thosr rare jewels who completely give up self in the thought of others. She has passed away but in her passing she leaves a ife filled with good deeds and although her friends and relatives are grieved that she should so soon be taken from this life her memory will be a sweet recollection of loving kindness, sacrifices, and a strong devotion to the principles of christianity. In early childhood the writer became a playmate of the deceased and as time went on claimed her as her truest friends. She extends words of sympathy and condolence to those who grieve, as one who, too,has lost in the passing away of this young woman.
