Waller, Margaret Elizabeth Pyne

Margaret Elizabeth Pyne, wife of J. W. Waller, died yesterday at three o'clock. She suffered a paralytic stroke on February 15th. For a time hope of her recovery was entertained, but she gradually lost strength and death came as a relief from wearing pain.

She was born at Cazenovia, Madison county, New York, May 2, 1845, and grew there to womanhood. She received her higher education at the Cazenovia Seminary. With her father's family she removed to Iowa and was living with a brother in Dubuque when she was married to Mr. Waller on Dec. 29, 1874. Two children were born to them, Ralph P. and Willard. The latter die in infancy; the former lives to share his father's deep grief for the loss of a devoted wife and mother. Mrs. Waller's varied talents and abilities were consecrated to making a happy home.

The funeral will occur at the home at 4:00 o'clock Wednesday and will be conducted by Rev. Dibble.
