   Mrs. Ella Leigh Hines died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Caleb M.

the stairway, the aged lady surviving the shock only a few hours.

   Mrs. Hines was the daughter of the late Watt and Mrs. Amanda Whitehead

who died about eight years ago.

   She was a faithful member of Millfield Baptist Church joining that church 
in early childhood, and was generally beloved and esteemed throughout her 
entire community.

   She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. C.M. Cornwell of Berlin; three sons, 
L.M. and J.S. Hines of San Diego, Cal. and C.E. Hines of Berlin; two sisters, 
Mrs. Rebecca Kitchen and Mrs. W.K. Whitfield of Berlin and a brother, W.C. 
Stephenson of Suffolk.

   Funeral services were held from the home of Mrs. Cornwell Tuesday afternoon 
with Rev. E.B. Cahoon officiating, assisted by Rev. C.E. Gerringer of 
Wakefield.  Active pallbearers were: A.S. Cornwell, Jasper and Herman Whitfield, 
Arthur and Theo Kitchen, Elmo Hines, Rabey Cornwell and Harvey Stephenson. 
Burial was made in the family cemetery, the floral tributes being numerous and 
beautiful.
