Young Woman Called By Death Wednesday
Weakened By Illness, Operation Proves to Be too Great a Shock
Funeral Service Friday Afternoon

After an illness of four weeks Mrs. William Pickett passed away at the home of her father, E. N. Roush, in the First Ward at 2:15 o’clock, Wednesday afternoon. Elva L. Roush was born near Esgate, January 30, 1877, and had spent her entire life in the vicinity of Maquoketa, where she she was highly esteemed by a wide circle of friends, who now mourn her untimely passing. On February 4, 1914, she was united in marriage to William Pickett of Baldwin, but now a resident of Clinton, and who was by the bedside of his wife when death came. She was an honored social member of the R. N. A. order and her companionship was ever a delight in her fraternal circles. About three weeks ago she came to the home of her father in this city, and while her health was not good, nothing serious developed until a few days before the end came.

Those surviving besides her husband and father are one son, Jay, at home here; two sisters, Mrs. R. S. Kellogg, of Rock Island and Miss Susie Roush at home here; also two brothers, Elmer and Eugene Roush of this vicinity. The funeral cortege will leave the E. N. Roush home at one o’clock Friday afternoon for Esgate, where services will be held, Rev. Ed Lowe of Baldwin officiating. Interment in Esgate cemetery.
