Her physician and immediate family were { quite confident however, that under a the proper care and treatment, she would fully recover in a brief course t of time,but though nothing that could v be beneficial was left untried or un- L done, it was all to no avail. She fail- I ed gradually until relieved by death | on Thursday, October 9, 1925, attaining the age of 24 years 6 months and t 12 days. t She was wholly conscious until her r last breath and was fully prepared to i enter upon her eternal rest. Her last words was an expression of regret to j leave her many dear friends, especially her mother, sister and brother, but that she would soon be with her dear father who preceeded her in death in July, 1921. ’ She was a very patient sufferer, bearing the cross, which rested so heavily upon her, with the patience ' of a sincere Christian. She daily commended herself to the care and will of her Saviour in whom she I steadfastly believed, hoped and trustI cd to the end. She is survived by f [ her mother, one sister, Mrs. Johannah Gerber, one brother, Rev. A. L. ( Scherry, of Orrville, Ohio, and a very k large circle of other near relatives and friends.

*8 ■■ MW iiiimynag The Better Buick is a Man-sized Motor Car People appreciate a smartdriving, easily-handled, but full-sized, man-sited car. The Better Buick for instance. Each Buick model seats its capacity of full-grown people —in relaxed ease—without cramped legs or necks. Tall people, especially, enjoy its extra head-room and legroom. American men and women are above the average stature. And a smaller car than Buick is apt to be tight-fitting, low-ceilinged, crowded! Drop in and try the ample, arm-chair comfort of a car that is right in size. Bring some of your six-footer friends. You will find another big reason why Buick is so widely considered a better motor car — another reason why there are a million and more enthusiastic Buick owners.
