Mrs. J.R. BASHAW passed away at the BASHAW home in north Leon Tuesday
morning of last week after a lingering illness. Owing to the high waters
and the consequent delay of railroad traffic, the funeral was not held until
Sunday, awaiting the arrival of WADE WARNER, of Salt Lake city, who had been
halted in Nebraska by high waters.

Last Sabbath afternoon a large number of friends gathered at the BASHAW home
to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased.

Mrs. BASHAW was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, February 20, 1844,
and came to Decatur County, Iowa, in the spring of 1857. She was married to
J.S. WARNER April 27, 1865, at Garden Grove. Mr. WARNER died several years
ago. Mrs. WARNER was married to J.R. BASHAW in October, 1902.

Mrs. BASHAW had been for a long time in the grip of the disease which
finally resulted in her death, which came at last as a welcome relief to her
tired spirit, Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, March 26th. Her son, JOSEPH
WARNER, of Russellville, Arkansas, had been at his mother's bedside several
weeks prior to her death and her only other living child, WADE WARNER, of
Salt Lake city, was present at her funeral. Mrs. BASHAW was a most useful
woman of the community and her genial smiles and helpfulness will be greatly
missed. A large number of sorrowing friends attended her funeral service
conducted by Rev. E.N. Bradshaw. The floral tributes were many and
beautiful. She was laid to rest in a booth of flowers, typical of that
eternal springtime, into which she has entered.
