The deceased was a good neighbor, a conscientious wife and mother, and she was beloved by
her family and relatives. She had lived in Lyons for many years, and every acquaintance
was a friend. She was a member of the Royal Neighbors and Eastern Star Chapter of Lyons
and the above lodges participated in the last sad rites at the grave.

and four sons, she is survived by many relatives and two sisters, Mr. A. P. SLINKARD, of
Bloomfield, and Mrs. Robert F. MCKEEVER, of Spencer.
The deceased had been a consistent member of the Baptist Church since girlhood, and
participated in all church affairs when her health permitted her to do so.
Her funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends from a distance as well as by
those who loved her as neighbor and friend.
