Maquoketa, Ia. June 1.--Tuesday evening at 6:30 occurred the death of one of Maquoketa's most respected citizens and mothers, Mrs. Henry Moeller, who passed to her reward after but a short illness of heart trouble.

Deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James McName, and was born in Omar, Jefferson county, N.Y., April 21, 1855. Her father dying when she was 10 years old, her mother with her two children came to Iowa, where she later married Jake Chapman. At the age of sixteen the subject of this sketch was married to Hiram Stephenson. Three children were born to them, Mrs. Herman Day, L. W. Stephenson and one son, who died in infancy.

Later she was married to Richard Nabb, and five daughters came to bless their union: Mrs. Herman Wellendorf of Fulton, Mrs. Harry Barrows of this city, Mrs. James Van Voltenburg of Monticello, and two who died in infancy.

On July 4, 1911, at Galena, Ill., she was married to Henry Moeller, and has made a happy-hearted helpmeet for him, who with five children mourn their loss. Thirteen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren survive her.

When a child Mrs. Moeller joined the church and has always been a consistent member of the Methodist church, and has always been a kind and loving wife and mother and an accommodating neighbor.

The funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2 p.m. from the home, Rev. I. A. Bartholomew having charge of the services. Interment will be made in Mt. Hope cemetery.
