H. Kohn, who died Saturday, were conducted Sunday afternoon from her residence, 1617 Laurel street, by -her pastors, Dr. H. A. McCullough, and the Rev. Edgar Zeigler of St. Paul’s Lutheran church. After she was laid to rest by the side of her husband who died five years ago. Burial was in the family plot in Prosperity cemetery. It was fitting that floral tributes to one who so loved flowers were so numerous that they more than cover ed her grave and made the square into a miniature, closely carpeted garden of color and fragrance. A beautiful life, exemplifying ev erything that was fine and noble, ended when Mrs. Kohn passed away. Though she had been an invalid for several years, her death came unex pectedly. She built her own monument through daily living and kind min istrations and she will be remember ed with loving devotion by her neigh bors and friends and all others who had the good fortune to know her. Her chief joy was applying the art of being kind, for her long life was radiant with encouragement to all who came under her influence. She was modest and retiring, dependable and loyal; she spoke no harsh or un kind of criticism. She had abiding vit ality and a keen sense of humor. She rarely lost a chance to laugh even at herself. She never entered a home but it was -happier for her presence. She tended the needs of her family with gentle grace, and always found time to do a favor for any one who needed her help. Mrs. Kohn’s hobby was flowers. Her garden began at the Ivy-garlanded oaks on the street park and grew on and back to her garden wall. Noth ing pleased her more than to share and no one ever came empty-handed away from her garden as long as she was able to cultivate her riot of old fashioned blooms. She often said she grew no special blossoms in her garden for fear they might make her stingy. To her, the end and aim of raising flowers, was the joy of giving them away. Since she was thoughtful and generous, the world, as well as her garden, is a sweter place because she walked there. Mrs. Kohn was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran church where her presence has been sorely missed for the past two years. She remained interested in all phases of church work, and supported them gener ously with her means to the very last. She is survived by four chil dren: Misses Erin and Nell Kohn and Hart Kohn of Columbia; and Hal Kohn of Newberry; four grandchil dren, Hart Kohn, Jr., Hal Kohn, Jr., and Misses Mary Birge and Verna Kohn; one brother, S. S. Birge of Prosperity, along with a number of nieces and nephews—The State, March 2nd. HOME DEMONSTRATION NEWS (Continued from page 4) ed in it. Instead of steaks and roasts, older persons probably will like their meat, fish and poultry in easy-to-eat, chopped form in such dishes as meat patties, fish cakes, or chicken cro quettes. And since fat takes longer than any other food to digest, they’ll probably find it best to cut down on mixtures rich with fat. Old age slows down the digestive processes and too much fat simply puts an ad ded burden on the stomach and lower digestive tract.
