Brief committal services were held Saturday afternoon at Mount Hope cemetery for Mrs. Sarah DeFoy, 84, whose body was brought here from Waterloo.

Mrs. DeFoy was a former resident of Maquoketa and while here her home was on South Second street. Following the death of her husband in 1911 she made her home with her grandson, Earl Alderman in Waterloo where her death occurred. She had been an invalid for more than a year, her illness dating from a stroke.

Her three children, Ella of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Mabel and Roy of Chicago, accompanied the body here for burial.

Rev. Hunt of the Methodist church read the committal service.
