EAVES, Martha Susan BAKER - [from Cloverdale} This neighborhood was saddened Sunday morning when the news came that Grandma Eaves had passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Godley in Rogers. Mrs. Eaves spent several years in our neighborhood and while they were residents here the father and husband passed on. Mrs. Eaves was a wonderful mother and a good neighbor and has a host of friends who grieve with the children that must mourn the loss of a mother who was always so thoughtful for their welfare and the community as a whole joins in condolence for the ones that are left without a mother's loving counsel and guiding hand.
