Died, in Postville, on Sunday morning, March 17th, 1895, of consumption, Mrs. Margaret SHEPHERD, wife of Wm. SHEPHERD, aged 50 years and about two months. Mrs. SHEPHERD had been a great sufferer for several months and death came to her as a joyful release from pain, and she was ready and glad to go. She leaves a husband and a little boy besides some children by a former marriage to mourn her loss. The funeral was held from the Congregational church, and was very largely attended. The Workmen were out in force to show their sympathy for their afflicted brother, and had charge of the details of the funeral. The interment was in the old Postville cemetery.
