Mrs. John Inman Dies Suddenly Friday Morning

The community was again shocked Friday morning when it became known that Mrs. John Inman had passed away during the night. She had been at Spencer the day before and seemed to have been in the best of spirits. But when Mr. Inman called her in the morning she had passed on.

Twenty-one years ago, the Inman family moved to Laurens and from that time on Mrs. Inman had taken an active part in the civic, social and moral up-building of the community. No woman was better known and the many friends could not believe that she, who had been their companion so long, would go out and in among them no more. The floral gifts at the funeral mutely told of the esteem in which she was held.

Funeral services were held at the home Monday morning at nine o'clock. The Christian Science service was read by C. C. hall. Burial was made at Britt where a short service was again held. Here a large crowd of old friends and neighbors turned out to pay their last respects to the departed - as many or more than filled the home in Laurens earlier in the day.

Mrs. Inman was an active member of the Laurens Woman's Club and a charter member of the Col. John Laurens Chapter D.A.R.

Louise G. Inman was a daughter of Evelyn and John Shobe and was born at Shobe's Grove, Franklin County, Iowa, near Sheffield, August 18, 1856 and passed away at her home in Laurens, Iowa, July 25, 1930.

On July 3, 1880 she was married to John N. Inman at Sheffield, Iowa and before coming to Laurens, they lived at Sheffield, Rockwell and Britt, Iowa.

Mrs. Inman was the mother of three children, one who died in infancy; and a son, Guy Haven, passed on at the age of twelve years; and a daughter, Mrs. R. Glenn Smith who resides at Miami, Florida but who arrived in Laurens, Monday morning in time for the funeral.

Besides the husband and daughter, she leaves to mourn her passing, one sister, Mrs. James O. Moor of Laurens and one brother, Joe Shobe of Oregon City, Oregon.

The relatives from out of town present at the funeral, besides the daughter, Blanche Smith, were Mr. and Mrs. Walter Crapser of Thornton, Iowa; Mrs. A. Fiefield, Mason City; Mrs. Carl B. Summers and Dale Summers of Andover, South Dakota; and Louise M. Moor of Chicago, Illinois
