Postville Review 9/28/1922

Submitter's note: Even though B. C. Fleming was a big advertiser in the Review, I could not find an obituary in subsequent papers

Further Note: Catherine's gravestone reads: Catherine Fleming died 9/25/1922 aged 81 years, However, the 1870 and 1880 census records indicate that the above age is correct.
