mother she leaves two sisters, little Grace and Page Edwards; her 
grandparents, Mrs. Rosa Edwards of Portsmouth, and Mr. and Mrs. H.E. [sic;

   Her body was laid to rest at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. 
H.E. Outland, March 24, by whom she was so greatly loved.

   Many beautiful floral designs bore testimony of the love in which she was 
held by all who knew her.  Funeral services were conducted by Rev. L.F. 
Paulette of Holland.
