DIED-

TRUMBO- Mrs. Eliza Ann Dyer Trumbo was born November 15, 1815, in Pendleton county, West Virginia. She came to Iowa in the summer of 1854, and has ever since resided in Maquoketa or its immediate vicinity. She was married to Mr. S. O. H. Trumbo on December 28, 1841, in her native country, and has thus enjoyed 50 years of married life with her beloved husband who now lies at the point of death. She was one of eight children, two brothers are her only survivors of that family, Gus and William H. Dyer. She had but one child, M. N. Trumbo of this city, at whose home she passed away to the better land, on January 31, 1892. The funeral services were conducted at the home by Rev. T. S. Oadams Tuesday afternoon and the remains were interred at Mount Hope Cemetery. One by one the old settlers are passing away, but it is well to know that such pleasant memories of them linger behind.
