She was a good woman, and a faithful wife and mother, and her death is deeply regretted by her many old friends here, and the community is extended to the bereaved children. The remains arrived from Texas last Saturday morning and were taken to the Fairview church where funeral services were held, conducted by Rev. J. E. Woods of Kansas City, in the presence of many relatives, old friends and neighbors. Burial was made in the cemetery at the church beside the remains of her life companion.
