She was foe youngest of -four- children, Of whom two sisters, 'Mrs. Benton Barber of Cedatvilie, Ohio, and Miss . Jennie Bratton o f Chicago, survive her. The father died when ’Mary Was about ohe year o f age. Mrs. Bratton then-removed from Iowa to Cedarville, Ohio, where Mary gteW up and was educated. When quite a young woman, she cam* to Chicago and made her home in the family of Dr. H. P. Skiles. Later She’ became Dr. Skiles* secretary and 'office assistant which post she held most efficiently until a few months ago. She was- also Business. Manager o f the Garfield Park Hospi­ tal for twenty years. Early.in life ah* united With^the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Cedarville and worked as a teacher in the Sunday School, the only form of church activity at that time, Mide from foe pastoral work. After her residence to Ghicago be­ came permanent, she transferred her church membership to foe Third Pres­ byterian Church of this City, Thus, to a few words, wq have given foe outline of a life not spectacular in any sehse, but richly replete with kindness, love, and' sympathy.. In her hospital work, her tact and innate Sense of fairness brought all her associate* together in a loyal effort to second her endeavor to make the institution, a rest-haven for the sufferer* who sought help within its walls. AS assistant to a busy physlcan, she endeared herself to hi* patients by her never failing cheer and sym­ pathy, and her untiring work to their behalf* . To her many friends she showed foe unfailing sweetness and serenity of a nature filled with love and good-wili, *All her ^rays were pleasantness uni either paths were peae** Too much competition among foe little apples qn a limb isn't foe life*of . trade for fop orchardist. While apples haven't elbows, they nCed elbow-room, and givirfg it to them result* to a better quality of fruit for marketing. This has been demonstrated hr expert- ' ments by foe extension horticulturists of Ohio State University, tad is to be* urged .in a thinning campaign among Ohio apple growers this spring. One apple-grower in Columbians county reported to foe specialists that foe higher quality of fruit which re­ sulted from his thinning the .frees/ netted him a wage of $13 a day for his work. Of two trees in an Ashtabula County orchard, one Was thinned.tad foe other Was not. From the free which Was thinned, there were picked seven bushels of apples, >all “A” grade and 21 / 2 , inches in diameter or larger, From the other, which was not thinn­ ed, there were picked seven bushels of. apples, but not one was as much as 21/fc inches to diameter. Fifteen counties, through 'their county agents, have accepted foe in­ vitation of Frank H.‘ Beach tad C. S, Holland, extension specialists in horti­ culture, to join the “SWat the Cull' campaign. In these counties foe specialists themselves, the county ngents, and foe fruit .growers will vonduct' thinning demonstrations in early June, following foe “Juhe drop" of faulty apples, Information on thin­ ning will be forwarded to Interested growers before thinning time. * R.P»SfriodM«ets In Coult&rviHe * Te Reformed, "Presbyterian Syhod met at Coulterviile, 111.
