In the death of Mrs. Paul the family has lost a loving, kind and affectionate wife, mother, grandmother and sister, whose Christian spirit was at all times manifest in the sacrifice and interest for her family and loved ones. The community has lost a citizen who was at all times active in all upbuilding affairs and her place can never be filled. And all who knew the departed cannot help but feel the deep loss that loved ones and the community have suffered. May her memory be cherished. --G. N.
