Elkader Register, Fri., 16 Nov. 1883.

On the 7th of November, occurred the death of the wife of Hugh Rizer, of Elk township, at the age of 68 years. She was a native of Ohio, in which state she was married to Mr. Rizer in 1839, and came to Clayton county about 30 years ago, settling in Elk twp. She leaves a husband and 13 children to mourn her departure from among us. She was a member of the M.E. church and a consistent Christian, living a life as nearly perfect as any human person can, and we believe she has gone to her reward. Her remains were laid away to their final rest in the Wooldridge cemetery. The funeral was one of the largest ever seen in Elk township.

Added by S. Ferrall 2/5/2017:

The Wooldridge cemetery is better known as Asbury cemetery. She and her husband Hugh share a gravestone. Her DOD is engraved as 11/8/1883 rather than the 7th as in the obituary.
