Brooker, which occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. H Simpson, of Fairfax, on February, 28th. Her death was unexpected and and a shock to the community. ? Mrs. Brooker's whole life was one of h>?vntifnl a-ram nli fixation of the Chris ti&o graces; her disposition was sweet and lovely and her personality was charming. Many will rise up and oail her blessed in that Great Day for the good she did while sojourning on , earth. The memory of her will linger as sweet incense in the heart of her friends and neighbors until the perfect d?7. Mrs. Brooker leaves, besides her . husband, the following children: Mrs. W. H.
