 Mrs. Davis Winslow- was born in Fountain county, Ind., Sept. 20, 1855, and departed this life at Morocco, Ind. May 13, 1908. Her maiden name was Booe, and she was married to Davis Winslow, Feb. 1, 1871. To them were born four children, one of whom died in childhood, two —Mrs. Barker and Mrs. Brohard reside at Fair Oaks, and Joseph, who resides at Morocco. Fifteen years ago the family moved to Fair Oaks where Mr. Winslow had charge of a section on the C. & E. I. R. R., and where they continued to reside until last fall when they moved to Morocco where Mr. Winslow held a similar position. When seventeen years of age, Mrs. Winslow joined the Christian church, and has ever remained a devoted and faithful follower of the Master. In her departure the community has suffered the loss of the purest and noblest of women; the family the loss of the truest and most devoted of wives and mothers. The body was interred at Fair Oaks, where the funeral was held from the Christian church which was crowded with those who knew her best, and came to offer their tribute to her memory and worth. Again the world has lost one it can ill afford to lose; again a home is left desolate to heart-broken husband and children.
