Her husband preceded her to the better land sixteen years ago. She leaves to mourn her departure thirty-five grandchildren and three great grandchildren. She was a member of the U B Church for many years always strong to do the will of her Master. She was a devoted wife and mother and will be greatly missed by all who were dear to her. The body of Mrs Huffman arrived from California on No. 5 Sunday night accompanied by a son and daughter, Jake Huffman of Windsor, CA and Mrs Burkhead of Elgin, Nebraska who had gone to her mother to care for her some six weeks ago.
