John Bennett at the Seatonville church. The text for the sermon was from the words of scripture found in II Timothy, 4 chapter, 7 verse, and was a selection of the deceased as were also the hymns sang, "Nearer My God to Thee" and "Just as I Am Without One Plea." Her funeral was largely attended by sorrowing relatives and friends. Loving hands covered the casket with the beauiiful flowers of autumn. Relatives from a distance attending were Mr. and Mrs. John Patten of Verona, Wis., and John Proud of Cambridge, Neb.
