On the 4th day 3f June her funeral was conducted by Rev. Judson Corn at Old Toxaway :hurch ? in the presence of her chil dren and friends, and she was bur ied in the old graveyard on the hill beside her husband who had preceded her eleven years ago; also beside her father and mother and kindred who had long since been buried there, awaiting her coming.
