respected young lady and a consistent member of the Reformed church in 
Alexandria, a teacher in the Sunday school, a member of the missionary 
society; also of the Christian Endeavor and the Red Cross, and had many 
friends who deeply regret learning of her sudden death.  She is 
survived by her parents, two brothers and three sisters, as follows: 
John M. and Harry B. Winters, in the U.S. service in France; Mrs. Anna, 
wife of Ralph Harnish, of Rochester, N.Y.; Miss Mary C. Winters at
