WOMAN AT HART CHOSE TEXT FOR OWN FUNERAL

Hart, Nov. 9.—Mrs. Phebe Westbrook, 80, widow of John Westbrook, Civil war veteran, died at her home here. For the past 50 years she had lived in Hart. Two children survive, Mrs. C. Van Alisburg and John B. Westbrook, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

In her Bible was found a notation wherein it was learned she had selected her own text—the Thirty-first Psalm and First verse. A wish she had often expressed was that her body might be kept in her own home for a week following her death in order that she might have her last rest in her own home. Complying with this wish as nearly as possible the funeral services will not be held until Thursday.
