Hyeitt of Villa Grove in charge, assisted by Rev. E.F. Muir of the First Baptist church of this city, the services having been largely attended by sorrowing relatives and friends of the deceased.
Interment was made in the Shrontz cemetery.
Mrs. Page’s death following a lingering illness of six years due to a complication of diseases and during which period she was a very patient sufferer, although she was always bright and cheerful to those who were near her. She was a faithful follower of the teachings of the Baptist church with which denomination she united in 1921 at Villa Grove and her greatest pleasure was in attending the services as long as her health permitted. Her constant prayer was, “Father, if it be Thy wish, take this cup from me, Thine will, not mine, be done.”
She was a devoted and faithful wife and mother, a splendid neighbor and friend in need and will be sadly missed in the home as well as in the community where she has resided for many years.
