Lura Bell Land was the daughter of W. T. Davis, deceased, and was 44 years, 3 months, and 24 days old. November 19, 1890, she was married to Mr. John Land, their wedded life having been more than 28 years. She united with the Liberty Baptist church when only 12 years of age and lived a consistent Christian life. She was very much interested in the work of the church and Sunday school and will be greatly missed from the work. Mrs. Land was a devoted wife. She was never blessed with children but was a true mother to those who needed her love and care. Her watchword thru life was Service and she gave her life in trying to help others. The cause of her death was pneumonia, following influenza. She leaves to mourn her death, her husband, one brother, Mr. Thompson Davis of Buckeye, and the ones to shom she had been as a mother, besides a host of r! elatives and friends. The precious body was laid to rest in the Lancaster cemetery, Wednesday, beneath a beautiful floral offering which could only speak in a very small way of the love her relatives and friends felt for her.
