Funeral services will be Tuesday at 1:30 p. m. at the Parrott & Wood Funeral Home for Mrs. Una Wooley, 87, formerly of 419½ Allen St., who died sunday at Schoitz Memorial Hospital, at 2:05 a.m. of a heart condition.

She was born Una Dailey, the daughter of C. E. and Mary Burnell Dailey.

Her father was an early day industrialist in Waterloo and was one of the founders of the former Iowa Dairy Separator Co. Her father, with his partner, John S. Adams, many years ago operated a wagon, carriage and blacksmith business in the 600 block of Lafayette St. Later Adams moved to California and her father formed a partnership with Charles H. Hackett in the same business at the same location. Later they built a machine shop on the present site of the Young Women's Christian Association building. There the company began manufacturing the famed Iowa Dairy hand separator. The Marsh interests purchased the machine shop from the two men, and established the Iowa Dairy Separator Co., on Mullan Avenue, which later became Associated Manufacturers Co., until it ceased operation.

She was married to Clifford J. Wooley on July 11, 1900, in Waterloo. Mrs. Wooley was a member of the First Congregational Church; also a member of the Highlanders of the church.

Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Milford Harleip of 187 Woodstock Road, with whom she had made her home for the past month; one sister, Mrs. Waide Brown, 1958 Rainbow Drive, and two grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, who died in 1961; her parents and one sister.
