until death came to her relief. She was a model woman in all respects,
dearly beloved not only by her immediate family, but all of her neighbors
and friends, of whom she had many in Cooksville, where she resided for many
years, as well as in this city.

Kemp of Madison and Mrs. B. Green of Walters, Minn. and a brother Charles
