She leaves a husband and four children and a host of friends and relatives to mourn her loss. Funeral services Thursday at the Port William church, conducted by the Rev. Richard BEX. She joined the Christian church at an early age and remained a true Christian until death. Truly there is no home without a mother. Although her presence is gone forever, the influence of her life remains. We pass away but our works remain; our example survives. And while our memory can call back the loved face, we can but think of the holy calm that awaited her after her trials were all passed. We extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy, but realize that time alone can ease the aching hearts of those left to mourn.
