CRISWELL,    Mrs John CRISWELL, nee ROLLINS, died near Kelat on March 14th,
at the age of 78 years.

Last Saturday at 1 p.m., the funeral of Mrs. John CRISWELL was preached by
Rev, PIKE, of Kelat, at M. E. Church at this place.  He took for the
foundation of his discourse, Psalm 23.  Mrs. CRISWELL had been a member
since childhood.  She brought her two children up in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord.  Of her the words of Solomon were true:  "She
looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not of the bread of
idleness.  Her children arise up, and call her blessed:  her husband also,
and he praiseth her."  The house was filled to its full capacity.  Mr. James
ROBERTS and daughter, Verna let the singing.  Some very appropriate songs
were rendered.  When the beautiful white couch casket was opened she looked
as if asleep.  Mrs. CRISWELL  was in her 78th year.  She leaves a husband,
six sons and two daughters, together with a host of relatives and friends to
mourn her loss.
