suv to the public, through the

from the original letter written in

she was seriously ill. Mrs. Emison
walked to the Red Cross rooms

was unable to sew and and was
obliged to return home. From
this time «m she gradually Itecamc
worse, until on Wednesday. May-
lath. at 6:30 p n».. her spirit took
its flight. She was always at her
place in the Red Cross rooms on
Monday evenings, constantly do-
ing her hit for the hoys.
There.” She was a devoted
mother and wife, never tiring in
doing for her children. She was
the mother of three children.
Viola. David and Lillian. David
preceded his mother to the land
of rest by seven years. The high
esteem in which she was held lry
hcr friends was well shown by the
licantiiiil floral offerings at the
cemetery.
