Elizabeth Pillars was born—at her home in Decatur upon the 36th, of Nov- J ember, Dm she quietly passed to join “the ' choir invisible.” Fifty-six years, two months | I and twenty days were consumed in the pas- : I sage through this worid. Fully cognizant I that “this was not her rest” but merely a’pH- j | grimage -ber whole life was lived with an j I eternal abiding place in view. Early in life she united with the M. E. • I church and her quiet consistency was born of ! | eternal steadfastness. In IM6—January 9th, i | she married John Fonner, who finished the ; I pilgrimage a number of years ago. Five ehil- 1 I dren came to gladden their home, four daugh- II ■<l • ■> Hi.

W. 1. a.exander of the pr> Dyierian church, at the home from which she was borne to Maplewood where siie was laid to rest. Heal Estate Transfers. Barclay Smith to Daniel Stuckey, 76 acres.
