NAME OF ARTICLE:

DIED---Lora Belle Patterson, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Z.S. Patterson, was born at Bridgeport, Iowa, March 9th, 1883, and has
always lived in or near Maquoketa. She was a graduate of the Maquoketa High School, and an efficient public scool teacher for several years. She was united in marriage to J.W. Brady December 5, 1905 and she was the happy mother of
three children, Lois, aged 5, Fae, aged 3 and Lyle, infant. She made a public profession of religion and receiving baptism, united with the Reformed church July 10, 1904 and remained a loyal member until her death. She did her part in the Ladies' Aid and cheerfully responded to every call. She was also a member of the Pythian Sisters and devoted to her lodge. She was a woman of genial and loving disposition, loved by all who knew her, a queen in her home where she was adored by husband and children. She was a loving wife, a tender and devoted mother, a dutiful daughter and sister and a friend who never failed.
She will be sadly missed in all the circles of life in which she moved, but most of all in the little family circle where her presence was the soul and life. She passed peacefully away on Thursday, July 25 at 2 a.m., aged 29 years, 4 months and 16 days, leaving her beloved husband and little children, mother and sister, besides
a large circle of relatives and friends in great bereavement. Funeral services were held at the home on South Eliza St., on Sunday, July 28, at 1:30 p.m., where words of comfort and hope were spoken by Rev. D.F. Boomershine, her pastor,
and where a large circle of admiring and sorrowing friends gathered to express their sympathy to the living and show their love for the departed. The floral tributes of friends and societies were many and beautiful. Burial was made in Mt. Hope Cemetery under the auspices of the Pythian Sisters.
