Mrs. Sprunt was known for her kindliness 

 and grace, and for her devotion to the cause 

 of her Master. Standing like monuments 

 along the pathway of her life are countless 

 acts of charity, and many there are among 

 the poor who in her death have lost a true 

 and valued friend. 



Mrs. Sprunt was the daughter of the late 

 Col. Kenneth Murchison, of this city, and was 

 married 32 years ago to Mr. James Sprunt. 

 Surviving her are her husband; a son, Mr. 

 Laurence Sprunt; a grandson, Laurence 

 Sprunt, Jr. ; a brother, Mr. Kenneth Mur- 

 chison, of New York, and three sisters, Mrs. 

 Ellis, of Atlanta, Ga. ; Mrs. Shirley Carter, of 

 Baltimore, and Mrs. Hurkamp, of Freder- 

 icksburg, Va. 



A number of relatives and friends from 

 out of the city are expected to be here to- 

 morrow to attend the funeral. Many tele- 

 grams of sympathy have been received today 

 by Mr. James Sprunt and other members of 

 the family.
