Mrs Wm H Twist of White Creek, passed away Saturday, December 19, after several weeks illness, resulting from a fall in October, breaking her hip, from which time she gradually failed.

Funeral services were held Tuesday, December 22, afternoon at teh home, conducted by the Rev J W Davies of Wisconsin Dells. Six great nephews of Mrs Twist acted as pallbearers. Interment was in the Easton cemetery.

Julia Richardson was born March 23, 1855, in Darlington, Wisconsin, and died December 19, 1931, aged 76 years, 9 months and 7 days.

She was one of a family of seven children, of whom one sister alone survives her, Mrs Adeline Redlon of Long Beach, California.

In 1887 she was united in marriage to Jacob Dewitt Woodard, and they resided in the town of Easton. After the failure of Mr Woodard's health, they made their home with their nephew, J W Day, and family in the same town. Mr Woodard passed away in February 1919.

In Aug 1921, Mrs Woodard was united in marriage to Wm H Twist of White Creek.

Mrs Twist was one who, while her health would permit was ready to help those ill or in trouble. Many friends and relatives remember her kindly services. During her last illness all was done that loving hearts and hands could do, but to no avail. She leaves to mourn her departure, her husband, a sister, nineteen nieces and nephews and a host of other relatives and friends.

Those who came from a distance to attend the funeral were: Mr and Mrs H L Wilson and daughter, of Nurrah, Wisconsin; Mr and Mrs H W Schulz and family, South Milwaukee; Gene and Mr and mrs Harry twist, Sheboygan; Herb Pishion and Mr Ryan, Mauston; Mrs Cap Hecocks, Lake Delton, Wisconsin.

We wish to express our sincere thanks to Rev J W Davies for the message of comfort; to the singers; to Robert Roseberry for his services; to the friends who lent their kind assistance and for the floral offerings, especially the Ladies Aid of White Creek, and to all for their sympathy in this hour of bereavement.
