sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Ada Miller, Mrs. Mayme Masters, Georgia and

Although she was ever ready to help in outside activities
her home always came first, and she was an ideal home-maker. Remembrance
of her generosity, hospitality and happy nature will remain in the hearts
of her family and multitude of friends always.
The family wish to thank their many friends for their
assistance, sympathy, and beautiful floral tributes tendered during the sickness
and death of their beloved wife, mother, and sister, Rebecca Anderson.
