Cora, eldest daughter of W. W. and Ellen Goble, was bom in Salt Creek township, Dec. 22, 1880. She was one of a family of eight children, four girls and four boys, five having gone on before.

Willis, who with the father, survives. When young in years she united with the Methodist church and about 25 years ago under te ministry of Bio.

Jones, she united with the Christian church, where she was ah active worker, al- working in behalf of the Mas ter's cause. Cora, as we all knew her end loved, was a woman of a friendly disposition, sociable and kind; Her home was always open for the sojourner; the prea'cher found a kindly welcome and many happy hours and days hashe spent there. She and her companion were loyal to the great cause and no church circle was complete' without them. She was a woman whose gentle ministrations were known in almost every home; many were the hours, days and weeks that she sat by the bedside of the sick and dying, nobly doing her part. About three years ago her health to break and little by little she seemed to fade.

An operation was deemed advisable and without a dissenting word she -submitted to the surgeon's call. She seemed to grow 'stronger, but about nine months later she again submitted to another operation and since that time she gradually slipped from our grasp. She never complained of her lot, patient as the day was long, she wore that smile which vr.3 characteristic of her life.
