morning April the 22 1915 '
She was horn in Sullivan
County Missouri October 10th
1M() Where she grew to woman-
hood and married Albert C
Bradshaw on March the 5th lil'l
She was- brought up in a
Christian home and in her youth
she consecrated her life to Cod
Hers was a daily growth of
grace ever going forward eacli
day putting aside the things tiiat
went before and pressing toward
the prize of our high calling in
Jesus Christ until with her
work well done and her robes
made white she answered tho
summons of our Master
It was in her home that the
beams of our sisters life shown
the brightest Tier home was a
home indeed a trustful wife a
loving mother a true friend ami
an ever kind and thoughtful
neighbor barely express her
true characteristics She was
faithful to her convictions of
right and obedient to the de-
mands of honor and just ice living
always in the spirit of charity
She leaves a husband two sons
Lyle seven years old and llean
four months her mol her ami fall i
or three brothers Virgil Klmrr
and 1-tee ami two sisters Mrs
John Switzer and Mrs Henry
Switzer besides a host of rela-
tives and friends to morn her loss
She laid lioen in psoor health
for two month the seriousness
of her condition was realized but
the suddenness of the seeiningiy
untimely death comes as a se-
vere shock to all
Her remains wore laid to rest
in the Bed Star Cemetery beside
those of her son Bale who lttnl
preceded her to the Celestial
Home seven years ago
Impressive services were con-
ducted jointly by the Order of
the Eastern Star and Kelokah
Lodge with also a sermcn by
Hro Bavis of the Baptist Church
of which she was a consistant
member
The floral tributes were
many and beautiful each testify-
ing the esteem with which she
was held by the whole commun-
ity May Cod's richest blessings
and comforting grace be with
tho loved ones left behind
Friend after friend depart
Who hath not lost a friend?
There is no union here of
hearts
That finds not here an end:
Were this frail world our final
rest
Living or dying none were blest
There is a world above
Where parting is unknown
A long eternity of love
Formed for the good alone
And Faith beholds the dying
here
Translated to that happier
sphere
A Friend
