Three children by whom she is survived living in this county are C. C. McDowell and Mrs. W. W. Sanders, of this city, and Mrs. Robert Clements, west of this place.
The funeral services were held at the Clements home at 10:00 o'clock Wednesday morning, Rev. Mayo, pastor of the Presbyterian church, preaching the sermon, after which interment was made in Prairie Grove cemetery.
Because of her long residence here and because she was beloved by all who know her, her death brings great regret.
