Myrtle Mina Fosher was the daughter of Thomas G. and Mary E. Fosher. She was born February 16, 1892, in the Smyrna neighborhood, eight miles north of Brookfield 0 in the same home made joyous by her birth and marriage, now saddened by her death.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the Grove Hill Baptist Church, of which she had been a consistent member since childhood, conducted by Rev. D.M. Trout, and burial was made in the church yard under the direction of M.Y. Rusk.
