Leona L. Waite was born June 20, 1863 at County Corners, Fayette County, Iowa. Here she grew to womanhood, going to Strawberry Point for a few years schooling and afterwards returning to the old home farm where she stayed until her marriage to G. W. Sager, Nov. 28, 1905. They moved to their home in Lamont, where they have continued to reside up to the present time.

After a very brief but intense illness she passed away at the home about ten o’clock Thursday Morning, July 17, 1919.

On the 17th of June she was taken to Rochester, Minn., for consultation at the Mayo hospital, but no help or hope was given. All that love could devise, or care do, was done, but in vain.

For many years she has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at County Corners.

She leaves her husband, G. W. Sager; her brother, L. N. Waite of Lamont; four sisters, Mrs. Kate Doty of Burlington, VT; Mrs. Olive Cole of Strawberry Point, IA; Mrs. Eva Benson of Strawberry Point, IA; Mrs. Julia Sargent of Strawberry Point, IA, and many friends.

Funeral services occurred Saturday forenoon in the Methodist church at Lamont, conducted by the pastor Rev. Pease. The body is laid to rest at the County Corners Cemetery on the family Lot.
