husband, she leaves to mourn her loss two sons, Alex. of Saskatoon,
and Adam of Cadilac, Sask.

brother, living at Kinston, Mich., and two sisters, Mrs. LaRue of
St. Louis, Mo., and Mrs. W. W. Davis of Port Rowan.

girlhood united with the Methodist Church and constancy has been the
watchword of her life. She will be greatly missed in the activities
of the Neal Memorial Church, where she took such a prominent part.

expressed for the bereaved, especially for Mr. Hutchinson, who for
years has been a sufferer from rheumatism, which has left him quite
feeble.
