within a few days pneumonia set
in & her heart soon failed to
heal.
It is indeed a hard
blow to all of of us especially
Uncle Chandler.
He is about heart-
broken over the loss but is
trying to be as brave as
possible. I had planned to go
to end work next week. But
death makes great changes &
so shall remain here with
Uncle until he decides what to
do. Cousin Ann wishes to be
remembered to you and say
she feels as though she had
lost a mother.
Before Aunt L was
taken sick she said how I
wish Cousin Wilford could come
on here this summer.
How little we thought she would

be the next to die.
She did not
smile until the very last hour
sick she was & then said
she did not believe she could
live long.
She will be greatly
missed not only in our home
but throughout the neighborhood.
He enjoyed your son's visit here so much &
she often spoke of wanting the
pleasure of seeing him this
summer.
Please remember me to
him and best regards to
yourself & from all here
Yours Resp- Hattie Woodruff
She was sixty
seven years of
age and was
buried the thirty first
day of Mar.
