She had endeared herself to all of her pupils, the member of the school board and all with whom she was acquainted. She leaves to mourn her death, her father, jer Grandmother Woods, a number of uncles, aunts and cousins and a large circle of friends. A short service was conducted at the Methodist church of Protection, after which a large number of her pupils accompanied the funeral party as far as Bucklin.
