It can be truthfully said in the1
death of this good woman, Water j
i Valley has lost one of its most
estimable women. True in all her
aspirations and intentions, she
presented an enviable life—a life
that was an example for good—a
life to he appreciated and followed.
Site was a devoted Christian and
leader in the church, and in her
devotion to religious causes, her
zeal was unexceeded.
She was a kind and thoughtful
wife and mother, and her home
was her kingdom, and over it she
presided as both queen and helper.
She was loved by everybody
that knew her, and her death was
a great shock to her host of
friends, who realize the fact that
her place in the community will
be hard to till.

the Baptist church last Friday
morning at 9 o’clock, after which
(lie remains, accompanied by
love<) ones, were carried to Chica
