and Mrs. S. N. LOWTHER, Milton. Beside her husband and
three children she is survived by four grandchildren and two
great grandchildren.
- Mr. and Mrs. ROOD came to Milton in 1877 and though

Milton their home. From 1901 to 1924 they resided in Madison
but in 1924 returned to Milton.
- Mrs. ROOD was a Christian woman, quiet and retiring,
to whom her home was her
- kingdom. She was a member of the Seventh Day Baptist church

will be held Saturday
- afternoon at the Milton S.D.B. church at 2:30 o'clock. [Thursday
