Elizabeth H. Gordon, daughter of Angus and Nancy Gordon, of Postville, was born April 5, 1868, and died in Montana June 7, 1902.

She was married in 1889 to Oliver Kilgore, who died in 1898, leaving her with one child, a boy now nine years of age. She was married March 25 1901 to Lewis H. Davis who by her death is left with a young babe born April 24, 1902.

The father of the deceased, Angus Gordon, has thus been called within less than a year to follow to the grave his wife and two daughters, all buried in the Postville cemetery.

The deceased was comforted in her last sickness by the promises of Holy Writ, and while it was a pain to her to leave especially her young child, she sought earnestly and trustingly to say "Thy will be done."

The funeral services were held Tuesday, June 10, at the Congregational church, Postville, by Rev. D.M. Parker, pastor of the M.E. church.
