She leaves to mourn her departure, one daughter, Mrs. Flora Swenk, and Bruce Cares of Richland, New Mexico and R. John H. Cares of Wisconsin. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Cares moved to Barry County, Missouri in 1892 and settled on a farm near Hailey where they resided until September 1914 when they moved to New Mexico, her husband preceded her about two years. Mrs. Cares has many friends in this section who will be grieved to learn of her death and the sympathies of all the friends who knew the family are with the bereaved ones. The mother has been called to come up higher, "and another hand to beckon us". |
