ter, Mrs. Wm. J. Bennett.
Mrs.

health for some time but was able
to be about the house and was

account o f the prevalence o f the in­
fluenza. the funeral services w ire
held at the undertaking parlors of

Thursday morning at ten-thirty.
Mrs. Huckleberry was one o f the
quiet, home loving mothers o f the
Red Hills, loved by her neighbors
and friends for her gentle, Chris­
tian character.
The sympathy of
the community ia extended to her
daughter and son.
Mrs. Huckle­
berry’s maiden name was Amanda
McLellan.
She was born October
28. 1847, near Salem, Indiana. She
f t survived by a daughter. Mrs. Wm.
