[MILES, FRANCELIA A. DAVIS JACKSON] In the death of Mrs. Miles Hopkins loses a woman of business ability, kindliness of heart and Christian character. Left as she was with her family of little ones to provide for, she made a noble fight to rear them as best she could and only those close to her ever realized the struggle this noble mother made. She united with the Presbyterian church at the age of 12 years and continued always in the very darkest days to cling to her faith, especially at the last, to her hope for the future. The funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian church by Rev. A. P. Walton, the pastor, assisted by Rev. Taylor of the M. E. church. The time for the service cannot be arranged until relatives have been heard from. Burial will take place in Hopkins cemetery. Mrs. Miles' maiden name was Francelia A. Davis.

Porter and moved to the then new town of Hopkins, where she has resided continuously ever since. Mrs. Porter was a home woman in every sense of the word. Of a quiet and retiring disposition, none knew of the many acts of kindness and numerous deeds of charity performed by her. In her twenty-nine years of life in Hopkins she made no enemies. Everybody loved her, and her sweet Christian life will ever be an example to those left behind. Besides her husband, Mrs. Porter leaves one child, Mrs. Cecil Austin, to mourn the loss of a dear mother. There are also five sisters, Mrs. Henry Demott, Mrs. A. C.

JONES] Her life was quiet and peaceful, filled with loving deeds quietly done. Wherever sickness was or need she was willing to assist, and her presence brought sunshine. She was one of the charter members of the Presbyterian church at Hopkins, where she remained a member until her death. Her faith in God was perfect and no work of the church was complete without her. Hers was an everyday Christian life, doing the work of the Master faithfully and trustingly. She was sick about six weeks with a complication of diseases. She was able to be down but little during that time, resting as best she could in a chair. She was talking of her husband when the weakened heart suddenly stopped and the hand that had so gently led her along the path of life conducted her across the dark stream to which we could see she was going, leaving us standing so close to its flowing water. A short service was conducted by Rev. Hale at the home of H. W. Hull Thursday morning. A quartet consisting of Mrs. Alpha Bishop, Miss Nellie Douglas, Orlo Quinn and Hal Catterson sang "It Is Well With My Soul" and "Abide with Me," and a solo, "Shepherd Divine," was given by Mr. Catterson. The remains were taken to her old home and church at Hopkins, where the funeral services were conducted by the pastor. Remarks were appropriately made by W. K. Adams, an intimate friend of the family from St. Joseph. Her body was laid to rest beside the family, a husband, who preceded her more than five years ago, and three children who died in infancy. Many were the floral tributes and expressions of love from a host of friends who, in their hearts, chorus the admittance, "Well done, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord." [STEWART, CLARA F. JONES] [STEWART, CLARA F. JONES] [STEWART, CLARA F. JONES] [STEWART, CLARA F. JONES]
