Obituary

MRS. D. D. LIONE

Mrs. D. D. Lione, who has been in poor health for some time, passed away Monday evening at 7:30 at the hospital in Austin, where she had been for about three weeks. She was conscious to the very last and longed for the end to come. To her, death had no sting, but was a welcome transition from the mortal to the immortal. She was a faithful and devout Christian and endeavored by precept and example to live a Christian life. No one entered her home or came into her presence without being conscious of her implicit trust in the Heavenly Father.
