On January 17, 1911 she was united in marriage to Jesse HARRELL, and this past January they observed their 73rd wedding anniversary.
Mrs. HARRELL was preceded in death by five brothers: John, Fred, Clarence, Earl, and Roy CAPPEL, and one sister, Mrs. Ida HARRELL.

Mrs. HARRELL loved flowers and it is appropriate that one who brightened the lives of others through the years should be honored by her family and friends with so many beautiful floral tributes.
