Mrs. William Oakland, 73, longtime Blairsburg resident, died at 7:25 a.m. Saturday at Hamilton county hospital where she had been a patient since Tuesday.

Funeral services will be at 2 p.m. Monday at the Missionary Alliance church in Blairsburg with the Rev. R.N. Culbertson officiating and with burial in Blairsburg cemetery. The body will be taken to the church at Blairsburg at 11:30 Monday and will lie in state there until time of the services. Foster's funeral home is in charge of services.

Elizabeth Julia Jaycox, daughter of Isaiah and Emma Jaycox, was born Jan. 26, 1882, on a farm north of Blairsburg. She received her schooling in the schools of that community. When she was 18 the family moved to Minnesota, locating on a farm near Woodstock. She was united in marriage March 25, 1903 to William Oakland and the couple returned to Hamilton county and had farmed in the Blairsburg community since that time.

She was preceded in death by one son, who died in infancy; by her parents, two brothers and two sisters. She is survived by her husband; one son, Lloyd Oakland of Missoula, Mont.; two grandchildren, Mary and William Oakland; two brothers and one sister, Louis Jaycox of Minneapolis, Leroy Jaycox of Mankato, Minn. and Mrs. Virginia Hoag of Grinnell.

Mrs. Oakland was a member of the Missionary Alliance church at Blairsburg and was active in church work as long as her health permitted. She was especially interested in church missionary work.

It is the family's preference that friends so desiring make contributions to the missionary fund through the Missionary Alliance church at Blairsburg.
