Maud Vivian Morris was born Jan. 11, 1879, in Ogsdenburg, N.Y. When but a babe the family moved to Iowa, locating near Pomeroy in Calhoun, Co. Here she grew to womanhood. On January 12, 1896 she was united in marriage with John B. Squiers [Squier]. To this union three children were born: Jessie A., Ilda A. and Gail M. all of whom are living. The family lived near Rockford, Ia., for about 13 years, a few years in Dickinson Co., and since 1912 have been residents of Estherville. Mrs. Squiers passed away July 21st at Iowa City, where she had been in the hospital for several weeks. She was a great sufferer but ever manifested great patience, rarely making any complaint. She was a faithful wife, a devoted mother, and a loyal friend. Of a quiet disposition and was not as widely known as her splendid qualities would have justified. All who knew her appreciated her Christian character and will feel a common sympathy with the husband and children in their loss. (Estherville Enterprise, Estherville, IA, July 26, 1922)
