MRS. MARY ELIZABETH VINING
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Vining, 316 Twenty-first place, died at 3:40 o'clock the afternoon of October 12. Funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon at the First M. E. church and burial will be in Springdale cemetery.
She was born January 20, 1852, at Cardington, Ohio, and was married in 1871 to Isaac Edward Vining. The family home had been in Clinton for many years. Mr. Vining passed away eight years ago and there is left their only child, Henry Vining. There are eight grandchildren and two great grandsons, also four brothers, residents of Ohio.
A life long member and worker in the Methodist church, Mrs. Vining sustained a broken hip eighteen years ago, and much of the time since then had been a shut-in. That did not lessen her zeal for the work of the church nor her interest especially in foreign missions; many an hour has been prayful work carried on at her bedside and because of the inspiration of her quiet acceptance of a physical cross.
