on which she lived until her death. |

Her religious life made of her an exemplary member of society, a devoted wife and an |

She met and encountered the duties of life with her aged, bereaved consort for 60 years. |
They had born to them 9 children, seven of them living to adult age, six of whom are still living |

Her life companion, now on the verge of the grave, and her surviving children have the |
heartfelt sympathy of all their neighbors and friends in this their greatest earthly sorrow and loss. |
