A Tribute to an Estimable Woman
The burial of Mrs Agnes Parrott Pollock (nee Jones) Friday morning at
11 o'clock was witnessed by many relatives and friends; and their prefuse
floral offerings of carnations, lilies and mosses, fittingly covered her last
resting place.
Rev C W Blanchard conducted the services and the quartet sang her
favorite hymn:
"We shall meet beyond the river, Where the surges cease to roll."
The interment of this most lovely lady has not buried her many
inestimable qualities, and she has left an indelible impress on
the community for purity of life and lovefor home and husband, for
neighbor and friends.
As a model of noble womanhood Mrs Pollock will be ever remembered.
