She succeeded it giving each of her children a good education despite the strenuous times of war through which she was called to pass. To her children and grandchildren she was always kind and lovable. Her memory to them will always remain sweet and fragrant with many happy scenes and kindly deeds. She was a resident of Evanston for twenty-two years. The many friends of the home lin the children in their sorrow. Funeral services were conducted at the family home Thursday afternoon, Rev. L. L.
