Although for many years in poor health, her husband has deen so badly crippled that hf needed herdaily care and ministrations, while she kept her own household and found time for many acts of kindness and generosity. While living in Pleasanton Mr.

and Mrs. Detty conducted a restaurant, where of course the active management fell upon Mrs. Detty. In Mound City her health has prevented her activities extending beyond her own house, yet she has been generous in giving her help where she could and in contributing to every worthy cause.
