Tuesday morning at the home of her parents, on Garden Street, Miss Ruby E. Sies passed quietly away after an extended illness of consumption. Miss Sies was 21 years old and a peculiarly sad feature of her death was that she had only just graduated in June from the city high schools. She was a member of the Christian Church and an earnest worker in the Christian Endeavor and Sunday school. Her presence will be greatly missed in that house of worship, where she was ever ready and willing to work for the cause of the Master she had accepted. Hers was a beautiful and enduring life and though short, it was long enough to leave an impression that will not soon be forgotten. In the Sunday school she had picked up a number of children who had not been accustomed to attend, and organized a class, which she successfully taught. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Sies. The funeral was at the residence at 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon. Interment was at Oak Hill. -s
