1 01 S Oilj? litt nb rg r mia Mrs. W. C. Hewitt I HIS noble woman was the one who gave her A life while nursing patients of the Wittenberg S. A. T. C. during the influenza epidemic. When the plague broke out in Springfield she was one of the first to volunteer to relieve the patients in our temporary hospital at Wittenberg, and her kind and loving attentions were always in evidence wherever she happened to be. The Wittenberg company attended the funeral service in a body as a token of their sympathy and as taps were sounded the soul of this dear woman passed to its reward. tventy-thrcc
