Generous in her nature ana cnari- table to a high degree, many were her ministrations and many a heart will be saddened at the news that she is no more. One among the oldest of Jackson citizens, she loved to live in the past, and was happiest when conversing with some old friends of the happy days of long ago. But she also loved youth and took great pleasure in promoting their pleasures and assisting in theirl welfare.

In fact, sne was a woman whose pleasant smile it was a bene diction to enjoy and whose friend ship it was a privilege to enjoy. The funeral arrangements will be in the hands of the Tom E.
