Cora Glen Bosley, youngest child of Jacob S. and Mary M. Bosley, was born near Watkins, Iowa, April 22, 1870, and passed away at Des Moines April 26, 1945. She had been in poor health for some time, and never completely rallied from an operation she underwent last January.

Her early life was spent in southeastern Iowa, but in 1881 she moved with her parents to a farm near Dexter, then later to one south of Earlham. In 1904 the family settled in their own home in Dexter, where Cora faithfully cared for her aged parents until their deaths. Then in 1933 she moved finally, to Des Moines.

She united with the Early Chapel Church of Christ in 1891, and remained a professing Christian throughout her life. Her brothers, M.S. of Earlham and J.S. of Ladora, and her sister, Mrs. Edith Eddy of Marengo, all preceded her in death.

Funeral services were held at the Welch Funeral Home in Dexter, April 28, 1945 by Rev. Kurt Daib, taking for his text the one of her own choosing, “In My Father’s House Are Many Mansions”. Interment was beside her parents in the Dexter cemetery. Mrs. Susan Eddy of Des Moines, a niece, sang two of her favorite hymns: “Lest We Forget” and It Is Well With My Soul.”

She leaves to mourn her passing six nieces and three nephews, besides many friends in her old home neighborhoods of Earlham and Dexter, and in Des Moines.
