CALLED BY DEATH
Mrs. A. L. Findley passed away at her home south of Scotia yesterday morning at about 4:00 o'clock. Her death came very unexpectedly she having gone to bed the evening before in her usual good health. The day before she had worked in the garden and had done her usual tasks about the home. The cause of her death was given as heart trouble.
No one person could have been taken from the community who will be missed so much as Mrs. Findley. She was loved by all who knew her. She was a real neighbor, always more than willing to do her part. Mrs. Findley had always been very active in the church work at Lamartine, and especially in working with the younger people of the community.
The hearts of the entire community will go out in tender sympathy to the family of this good wife and mother.
Funeral Services are to be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at the Lamartine church. Short services will be held at the home at 1:45.

Funeral Services Held for Mrs. Albert Findley Friday
The funeral services for Mrs. Albert Findley were held last Friday afternoon. A short service was held at the home, following which the funeral cortege proceeded to the Lamartine Methodist Church where services were held under the charge of Rev. E. V. Price, the pastor. A very large crowd was present to pay their last tribute to a loved neighbor and friend, and the many flowers, sent by friends of the deceased, were fitting tokens of their high esteem for her.
Interment was made in the Mount Hope Cemetery.
AT REST
Elizabeth M. Fawcett was born on May 1st, 1862, in Flushing, Belmont County, Ohio, and departed this life on June 16th, 1926, aged 64 years, 1 month and 16 days.
When in her infancy, her mother died, leaving her in the care of her older sister, Mrs. Henry Welsh, who preceded her to the eternal resting place only three years ago.
After a few years spent in her native state the family moved to Johnson County, Missouri, and while there she was united in marriage to Albert Lee Findley. They lived here for eight years and then moved to Nebraska, near Scotia, where she spent the remainder of her life.
At the age of seventeen she united with the Presbyterian Church and after moving to Nebraska, had her membership changed to the Lamartine Methodist Church, since which time she had been a faithful and consistent member.
She was a devoted wife, a kind and loving mother – ever faithful in the service of others.
Mrs. Findley was of that amiable disposition to make friends wherever she went, and will be sadly missed in the homes of her many friends and neighbors.
Besides a host of friends and relatives, she leaves to mourn her loss a husband and three children, - Mrs. Austin Voorhees, of Long Beach, Calif., Harold and Floyd of Scotia, one child having preceded in infancy.
