      GOOD WOMAN GONE. 

  The funeral of Mrs. Henrietta Walraven, death already has been reported in 
this correspondence took place this afternoon from St. John's P.E. church, 
near Chuckatuck.  The exercises were conducted by Rev. John H. Dickenson, of 
Richmond, Va., who formerly was rector of St. John's.  The burial was in the 
church cemetery, the following being pallbearers: W.A. Wills, W.C. Whitney, 
Col. J.J. Phillips, Wesley Chapman, Dr. George W. Butts and J. Holladay 
Parker. 

  The deceased was the mother of Mrs. Mary Walraven Ramsey and has been not 
only a devoted grandmother but a mother to her children.  They would not have 
her back, but grieve to give her up. 

  She was devoted to her church and interested in all its work - a worthy 
example to all who knew her.  None knew her but to love her.
