She continued her church work in Great Falls as long as her health and strength permitted her so to do and she was generally respected and loved by all who were favored by her acquaintance.

Funeral services will be conducted this evening at 8 at the family residence, 1214 Fourth avenue north, by Rev. Willis T.
