Elliott and Miss Bessie Drew of Normangee, Tot Drew of Calvert, Carl Drew of Tullus, New Mexico and Ray Drew of California. There were also thirteen grandchildren and one great grandchildren.
  
  During her long illness, Miss Bessie Drew was her faithful, constant companion and nurse. Her devotion to her mother has been a beautiful example to all who know her, Mrs. Drew was a member of the Free Will Baptist church and a sweet good Christian lady.
  
  Rev. A. M. Wester conducted services at Hopewell Cemetery at 3 p.m. Wednesday [Aug. 10, 1932] , where she was tenderly laid to rest. All the children were present except for the son from California. The Star joins many friends in offering sympathy to the sorrowing family.
