That this union was a happy one nothing further need be asked than that borne to step-father and step-mother by the two families of children. One special pride of Mrs. Mayhall was the love her step-children bore towards her. The ones nearest her an knowing her the best loved her most. She often expressed this pride to strangers when explaining the uniting of the two families.
She leaves to mourn her husband, two daughters, one sister Mrs. Nena Hart of Chicago, one brother Atlee Pratt of California with many other relatives and hosts of friends wherever she was located.
She was converted to the services of the Master under Rev. Sword's ministry and her life work here among you and in her new home will stand as a monument to her unselfishness and devotion to her family and her Savior.
The remains arrived at Walnut Tuesday morning, accompanied by her husband and children Mr. and Mrs. Frank Alshouse and her daughter Mrs. Gleissmann.
The funeral was held at the Christian church Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by the pastor Rev. F.H. DeVoe, and the remains were laid to rest in the new part of the Walnut cemetery.
