Funeral services were held Friday January 6 for Mrs. James Nading of Fayette. Minnie Belle Easton was born near Strawberry Point, Iowa, July 1, 1865 and grew to womanhood and lived most of her life time near there.

She became the wife of James Madison Nading and twelve children were born to this union, ten of whom survive the mother.

For a number of years they lived on a farm near Littleport. Then several years were spent on farms near Strawberry Point and Thorpe following their moving to Strawberry Point in 1910.
