Mrs. Jeffres was highly esteemed by all who knew her and her death is not only a sad blow to her husband and children but to the community, and the heartfelt sympathy of all will go out to the bereaved family.

In behalf of Brother Jefires(sic) we extend thanks to his neighbors and friedns(sic) for the kindness shown him during the illness and buriel(sic) of his beloved wife; also to the members of Scotia Court, T. B. H., for their attendance at the funeral, and especially to those members who were so thoughtful as to provide hot coffee for the funeral party.
