With the news of her death, a sorrow has come into the hearts of many Chillicotheans. who have known her since her babyhood, and have always loved her for her happy dispsition, which was reflected by her radiant smile and cheery laughter; for her genuine sincerity femine womanliness.

June 20, 1914, she was married to William Korst, who was then stationed at Manila with the regular Army. The good wishes of their many friends for their future were happily realizd, for their home has been the center of their love and devotion. Two sons, Ira, now aged 13, and Charles, aged 8, completed the family circle, now broken. They, with their father, who is now confined to the hopital, are bereft of a devoted mother and wife.
