October 19, 1919 at the age of
sixty-three years.
She was a native Texan, born

Mrs. Pouncey was a lady of : e-
markable character, one of the
old fashion types of Christian
mothers and wife: She professed
faith in Christ and joined the
Baptist Church at the age of
seventeen, which faith she lived
until her last hours and died the
triumphant faith that character-
izes a ripened faith of God.
She was the wife of A. W.
Pouncey who preceded her to the
better world last Abril. She leaves
one son, J. M. Pouncey, two sis-
ters, and fo :r brothers and a
host of friends to mourn her lost
The funeral was conducted at
the cemetery at five p. m. Sun
day by W. P. Ray, Paster of
the Baptist Cl.urh. assisted by
the other pastors of the town.
A large crowd of friends
gathered at the cemetery to
show their respect and love to
such a worthy citizen and noble
character, and one and all join
the Avalanche in extending to
the bereaved their deepest sym-
pathy to the bereaved in this sad
hour.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire through the columns
of the Avalanche to express our
sincere thanks to the many kind
friends in Alpine who in any way
assisted in caring for our loved
one during her illness, death and
burial, and may He who watches
over all repay you.
Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Pouncey.

is as real as the singing or playing of the

to hear the New Edison alongside the
artist, you could not distinguish one from

You cannot appreciate Mr. Edison's
