Mrs Godfrey Called
Mrs. R. [aymond] G. [uy] Godfrey , daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. [amuel] D.[avid] Hamilton, passed away last Friday in a Clarinda hospital following an operation. Funeral services were held in the Gilead church Monday afternoon and interment was in the Gravity cemetery. We are unable to print her obituary this week because of negligence of the minister in charge.
The passing of Mrs. Godfrey is unusually sad, leaving as it does four motherless children, who sorely need the care only a mother can give. The bereft husband and children will make their home for the present with Mr. and Mrs. S. [amuel] D. [avid] Hamilton.
