her every wish was granted. Lov-
ing, tender hearts and hands ad-
ministered every comfort and
care but God claimed His own —
one who had been an honor to
His Name and had made this com-
munity much richer for her hav-
ing passed this way.
She was charitable, sympathetic
and kind—ever ready to lend as-
sistance to the needy; administer
to the sick; comfort the bereaved.
She was a devoted wife, mother
and grandmother, a friend and
neighbor in all that words imply.
The McDuff community suffered
an irrevocable loss in her passing
but her good deeds have been
many and memory of her will live

and served.
Surviving are six children, Mrs.
Mary Champion, Miss Lena Mc-
Duff and Walter McDuff, all of
Austin; Mrs. Sadie Murchison and
Arthur McDuff, Elgin. Also six
grandchildren, all of whom were
present for the las? rites, and two
sisters, Mesdames Lizzie Boyle,
Austin and Mrs. Minnie Hines,

Preliminary funeral services
were held Sunday afternoon,
March 12th at 3:00 p. m. in the
chapel of Miller Mortuary for Mrs
T. B. McDuff of McDuff, who
passed on at 2:45 a. m. Saturday,
March 11th, in Fleming Hospital
where she had been a patient for
thirty-two days. The Rev. T. E.
Holt was in charge of the obse-
quies, assisted by Rev. Kenneth
Sellers, and the choir sang favor-
ite hymns. The cortege then pro-
ceeded to Manor Institute, near
Webberville, the family burial
ground, where the service was
concluded at the graveside and
interment was made, beside her
husband who passed on on Nov-
ember 9, 1934. A profusion of
beautiful floral emblems banked
her final resting place and over-
flowed onto other graves, attest-
ing to the high esteem in which
she was held by friends and rela-
tives, from far and near. Pall-
bearers were six nephews, John,
E. H. and Lawrence McDuff,
Coleman and Bill Hatherly and
Charles Wells.

greeting, a warm handclasp, and
pleasant word for all. To know
her was to love her. By faith she
was a Baptist and became a
member of the Cedar Valley
Baptist Church about the year 19-

her daily life and her Christian
influence was felt by all who made
her acquaintance. Her faith wax-

In 1886 she was happily mar-
ried at the family home to Mr.
Thomas Blair McDuff, a native
of the Colorado Chapel commun-

name. They made their home in
that community some eleven miles
south of Elgin until his death. He
engaged in farming and they en-
joyed prosperity and a large cir-

as leaders in all activities in their
neighborhood, church, social and
school. Their nice, comfortable
home was well known for its cord-

was the perfect hostess. She loved
company and always ‘found room
