noble traits and her friends were
many. She had spent several years
in Texas, but until last June she was
here with home folks, when she went
to Detroit to accept a position. Mr,
Willson is a young man of sterling
character and a fine business man,
and we congratulate him on winning
such a noble young lady for his life
companion. May their wedded life
be strewn with beautiful flowers.
We learn they will make their future
home in Canada.

man in every way. He will be sadly
missed,
