STOUGHTON.

Lydia Alma Stoughton daughter of Sanford W. and Margaret A. Stoughton was born October 26, 1861 and died December 6, 1907. For months she had been a great sufferer from that dread disease consumption, tenderly cared for by her sister, Esther A. Stoughton and other near relatives. Early last summer she united with the Methodist church of Maquoketa and during all her sickness manifested her abiding faith in her Savior. Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. T. Foster at the home, December 7, and laid to rest by the side of her father and mother in the Mt. Hope Cemetery.
