Notes:

"We all do fade as a leaf."
Dovey Ann, oldest daughter of Denton and Elizabeth Gray, was born June 5, 1886, and on April 9, 1936, the Master called her home.
The tired hands are folded now across her gentle breast'
While we weep in sorrow here
Her spirit sweetly rests.
The deceased was converted at the age of fifteen, in a meeting held in what was known as the "Old Sherman Schoolhouse" and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Kinmundy, and she is now the connecting link between her earthly home and that Heavenly home, and some day, through our Father's great love, you all may join her in that home where we need never say good bye. May her vacant chair be an index to the Great Beyond. And, so we say - just look up, do not mourn without hope. She is free from pain.
She was married to Owen W. George, October 8, 1885. To this devoted couple, three children came to make the home happier and love stronger, Ethel, Ray and Earl. Earl preceded her in death in 1918, and Ethel in March, 1936, just ten days before her mother's passing. The husband and father passed away August, 1935.
Mrs. George also took into her home, at the death of his mother, Glenn Brasel, at the age of three months and gave him a mother's love and care. This loving aunt, was living with him, at the time of her death.
Mrs. George was a charter member of the Royal Neighbors, Minnehaha Camp No. 569. She was a devoted wife and today we pay tribute to this mother, friend and neighbor, whose days were full of good deeds.
She leaves to mourn their loss, one son, Ray, whose loving efforts were untiring during her illness; one brother, James M. Gray; one sister, Mrs. Clarence Hanna; six grandchildren and one great grandchild; the nephew, Glenn, wife and three children, with whom she lived, and numerous other nephews and nieces, also a host of other relatives and friends.
Two sisters preceded her in death, Mrs. Ada Brasel, and Mrs. Martha Hanna.
Her savior said, "I go to prepare a place for you, and I will come again and receive you, to Myself, that where I am there you may be.
The funeral services were held from the M.E. Church, Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock Rev. E. Grey Wininger, officiating. Interment was made in Evergreen Cemetery.
