DOW CITY, July 1-On Tuesday evening of the past week, the remains of Mrs. Julia Mix who passed away the preceding day, were taken by rail to Clinton for interment. Brief services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Graul, parents of the deceased, before leaving Rev. W. T.

Jennie Julia Graul was born at Charlotte October 9, 1876 where she spent most of her girlhood days. Studying telegraphy at an early age, under her father’s tutorship, she was appointed his assistant at Mt. Vernon for a period of four years. She was united in marriage august 14, 1901, with H. H. Mix, after which she entered the service of the Western Union spending one year in Chicago, and ten years in Omaha. A severe and lingering illness compelled her to give us this work, for the six months. Soon after her marriage she united with the Congregational church in Chicago. She was of a quiet and loving disposition, always thoughtful of others and especially of the comfort of her patents. In health, she was a constant distributor of sunshine, in sickness a patient sufferer, glad to live, but not afraid to die. She passed peacefully away at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Graul, June 23, 1919. Besides her parents she leaves on sister, Mrs. Gertrude Petree, of Clinton, and two brothers, D. Leslie Graul, of Chicago, among other relatives and a host of friends. The hearts of all go out in sympathy to the sorrowing ones.
