She leaves to mourn hers a husband, two children, eight and ten years old, an aged father, two sisters and one brother, and a very large circle of relatives and intimate friends. An open air funeral was held from the house, two miles west of Swedeburg on Friday afternnoon which was one of genuine solemnity and sadness. The floral tributes were both many in number and very rich in appearance.
