Mrs. Lula Hillsman Edmunds died Saturday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. H. Vick on Fourth Street, this city.

Mrs. Edmunds, the daughter of Dr. W. H.

When just a child her parents came to Kentucky and located at Livermore, where Mrs. Edmunds spent all of her life until she came to live in Central City about 20 years ago. When quite a young woman she married Mr. C. B. Edmunds of Livermore, who died in the year 1917. To this union five children were born, four of whom survive her: Mrs. R. H.

Also survived by four grandchildren, Miss Dorothy Edmunds of Denver, Colorado, Messrs. W. C. Noon, Marvin Noon and Charles Noon of Bloomington, Ind.

Mrs. Edmunds was a lovely little lady with a most charming manner that endeared her to her many acquaintances; though well along in years she always retained her gentle, kind, sunny disposition that she had as a girl, making it always a real pleasure for those who met her to greet and cheer her.

Funeral services were conducted at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R. H. Vick, by the Rev. O. P. Bush, pastor of the Baptist Church of which church she has been a member for many years.
