Mother leaves to mourn their loss besides her children, 77 grand children (line unreadable), 5 sisters and 2 brothers and a host of neighbors and friends. Every thing was done to ease her last sickness but Jobe says the day of man's death is more joy than the day of his birth, so God knows best in all things. His will be done.

Mother dear, its hard to loose you,
but our loss is your gain we know,
and we hope some day to greet you,
on that happy and golden shore.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev M. .S Clark from the Last Chance church May 6, and Interment was made in Last Chance cemetery.
