Funeral of the Late Mrs. A. Organ Held Wednesday
Was One of Maquoketa’s Most Respected Women-Resided Here Since 1871

Again are the people of our city bereft of one of one of our grand, good women and honored citizens, and in the passing of Mrs. Anna Organ another link in the chain of the earlier residents has been broken. Mrs. Organ was a lady who delighted in her friendships and with her countless friends this delight was mutual, for it was indeed a pleasure to know her and enjoy her companionship. For the past several months she had not been enjoying good health and this served as a great trial to her, and the special church and fraternal circles have missed her loyal kindly association greatly. She had for many years been a member of the Congregational church and took keen pleasure in taking part in all its social and religious activities. Mrs. Organ was also a charter member of the Women’s Relief Corps and was one of the ardent workers who set in motion the great work which this organization has done in our city.

Anna Cubbage was born at Galena, Illinois, November 16, 1846, being the daughter of W. P. and Elizabeth Cubbage of Galena. On 1867 she was united in marriage to Alexander Organ at Andrew, Iowa, they coming to Maquoketa in 1871, where Mr. Organ engaged in the clothing business for many years. To this union one son, Harry B. of this city was born, who survives the death of a kind loving mother. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. Emma LeVann of Detroit, Michigan, and who was at the bedside of her sister at the time of her death. The funeral was held from the home in the Fourth ward Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock, Revs. J. G. Morgan and D, F. Boomershine officiating. The remains were laid to rest by the side of her husband in Mt. Hope cemetery.
