Mrs. Robert Wallace died at her home in Love Thursday evening at 5:30 o'clock after a short illness. She is survived by a devoted husband and infant daughter, two sisters and two brothers and a host of friends to mourn her death. But that is God's gain and our loss, for hers was a life of love and Christian sacrifice for her loved ones. Mrs. Wallace was only 27 years of age. O, but it is hard to give our loved ones up so early in life. But God's will be done.
