St. Francis hospital Monday morning, wes horn in In Crosse 01-1 December 20th, 1893. She was educated in the public schools nt this city and was graduated with honors from the La Crosse high school in 1910. Immedi- ately after her graduation she left for Num* with her • meth- where ahe spent a year. The 11 ; t aix months were spent in travelling in the ' British Isles and on 'the continent. In December of that year she became a student in the Convent of Notre Dame de Sion in Antwerp. 'Here she devoted herself to the stony of French' and music. In the fall of 1911 she entered Trinity College of Notre Dame du Namur in Washing- ton, D.C. While at Trinity she en- deared herself to a large circle of friends. After graduating from Trin- ity she entered the School of Journ- alism et Columbia University, New York City.

She enlisted as secretary and in- terpreter with the Red Cross and was assigned to Base Hospital 22. in March, 1918, she sailed for France 1 with this, the Wisconsin hospital unit. They were stationed at Bordeaux dur- ing the continuation of the war. In the spring of 1919 Miss Evans con- tragted influenza and pneumonia. At the time little hope was held that she would recover and she was in- valided home to the United States, much depleted in strength. Those who knew her best feel that it was in France that she paid the supreme sa- crifice for her country. On the 21St of October, 1919, Mary Frances Ev- ans became the bride of Warren Denis Leary of New York city. The ecremony was performed at ,..St. Tlary's church in this city. ,For some time after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Leary lived in New York; later they moved to Grand Mere, Quebec, where Mr. Leary edited a French - English paper for the Laurentide Co. Limited. Since January, 1922, they have resided in Chippewa Falls, Wis., where Mr. Leary had acquired an in- terest in Oe Chippewa Daily Gaz- ette. There, as everywhere, Mrs. Leary endeared herself to many friends to whom news of her illness and death comes as a great shock.

Mrs. Layton's death causes very keen sorrow, not only to her own people but amongst a large circle of friends.

She was a member of Wesley Methodist church, Clinton, and was very regular in her attend- ance.

Thr pallbearers were Charles, John, Frank and Walter Layton, Fred Pep- per and Alex. Tnppin.
