She was a great lover of flowers, and many a bud and blossom were culled by her own hand, and carried to neighbor and friend to cheer them in sickness and in health with their sweet fragrance and many a garland has been entwined for our "Boy in blue". She was a kind and helpful neighbor, ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in need.

In Memoriam:
Death has again entered our circle and taken our friend, Mrs. Awilda, wife of Mr. Jonathan White, who passed from earth to her reward, April 15, 1907.

She was a charter member of the Ladies Missionary Society of the First Presbyterian church of Hanover, Ill.

The society loses and earnest, willing worker, and the church will miss her presence and kindly fellowship.

RESOLVED, That we bow in submission to the will of our Heavenly Father who deeth all things well, believing that she had fully completed the work the Master gave her to do.

RESOLVED, That we cordially sympathize with the bereaved husband and sister, and may the gracious presence of the Comforter abide with them through the remainder of life's journey.

RESOLVED, That a copy of these resolutions be given the bereaved husband and sister, placed on the records of the Society, and published in the JOURNAL.
