She grew from childhood to womanhood in Postville where she was educated in the Postville schools, graduating with high honors with the class of 1896.

She was united in marriage with M. B Morgan, 22 Jan. 1902, going to Marshalltown, which has since been their home. Her aged mother, now 87 years, also made her home with them.

She is survived by her husband, aged mother and many friends.

The remains arrived at Postville last Friday evening and were taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Webb, where on Saturday afternoon the funeral services were held, Rev. R. F.
