She endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact with her kind and pleasant manner and fine Christian character. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church, Finch. She leaves to mourn, besides her husband, one son, Dewey McRae, and one daughter, Mrs. Hughie Shaver, both of Finch, and a number of grandchildren. Rev. D. L.
