DIED.

BIERMAN—In Vernon Springs, Howard County Iowa, Nov. 24th, 1880, Mrs. Louisa Bierman, aged about 80 years.

The deceased has been a resident of this township for a quarter of a century. Until 1859 herself and son Earnest resided together. At that time he went to California and has not been since heard from.

For several years she kept house alone, or resided with Wm. Kellow, Nelson Larson, and others, providing much for herself by assisting in their families, picking berries, knitting for the neighbors &c. until 1880. Her last days found her upon a piece of property on which she held a mortgage for many years, and did not release it until the great weakness came upon her which ended in her death.

Mrs. Bierman made ample provision for a respectable burial, and that with her hope in the atonement of Christ, was most dear to her heart.

M.B.D.
