On Sunday, Nov. 20th, occurred the death of Mrs. Thomas Malone, at her home in Dow City, the immediate cause of her death being due to 11 rights disease. Mrs Malone has been afflicted with this disease for more than a year and since April has been confined to her home, death coming as a relief from her long suffering. Margaret Emily Potter was born at Newcomer-Town, Tuscarawes Co., Ohio, June 20th., 1843, being at the at the time of her death a little over sixty-seven years of age. She was married to Thomas Malone, February, 21st., 1861. To this union eleven children were born, eight sons and three daughters, all of whom survive to mourn her death.

Mr. and Mrs. Malone with their children came to Iowa in 1881 and to Crawford county in 1884. Her husband departed from this life some fifteen years ago and since his death Mrs. Malone has made her home at Dow City. Mrs. Malone has been a member of the Baptist church for a number of years and bore her severe suffering with Christian fortitude and uncomplaining patience. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church in Dow City on Tuesday, the Rev. J. J. W. Place officiating. She was laid to rest in Oakland Cemetery in this city by the side of her husband. The sympathy of a large circle of friends is extended to the bereaved relatives, and especially to the children.
