She has been a kind and faithful mother, encouraging her children with good advice and eager to do her part in the home even when in feeble health. We keep her memory precious, While we never cease to pray, That at last when lengthening shadows Mark the evening of life's day, They may find you calmly waiting To go home the Heavenly way. The funeral services were held at her home at l o'clock, May 3rd, conducted by Rev. Henry Esch, of Leon, and assisted by Rev. F.A. Heizer, and Rev. G.W. Hall.
