THE PART SHE PLAYED IN LIFE
' In the news items clinics the nrt'iit ion of tin; death
f Mrs. Freeman Ladd, and those unfamiliar with early
daws and pioneer OiVtf'.n would piobablv dismiss the
item with the thoimht that another yood woman lias
been cal'led to her long liomc. Such is true, Imt it i.s als
1rue that .Mrs. Freeman Ladd was a wMiian of outstanding
character; a woman whos(! life, reflected both the jrood and
1 lie courageous; her work was neycr done, for like all tfood
wom'eii she d'ouiwl time ami onoort unity to help lotlicrs.
To lier the world was not merely an abiding place, it was
a place to do good and to help her neighbors and! friends.
!Kor these reasons the name of Mis. Ladd is legend in the
lioines of Union county. Jler nood deeds have endeared her
to scores and scores of prlsple. ,f ,
Jler type of womanhood is passing. It is lo lie rcprel
ted. Union county has been fortirnate in haviui- a liuiulior
of exceptional women who experienced the pioneer days
iiud helped to build the county to its present hiyli slate,
and f all these none had a hum . sa.reii place in the hearts
of the people ihan Mrs. I'Yccnian I .add. -
