Besides her husband, Mrs. Virtue is survived by two sons and one daughter—J. D. Virtue, of Mapleton, and John Virtue and Mrs. W. H. Richards,
of Danbury.

Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon at the Danbury Methodist church with Rev. Roy Cox in charge. Burial was in the Danbury cemetery.
