The Newton (IA) Journal, Wednesday, July 18, 1894

DIED - Minta D. Mathews, wife of R. A. Mathews, died at her home in Chicago, Ill., on Saturday morning, July 8th. Mrs. Mathews died of puerperal fever. She left a little boy baby only sixteen days old.

The funeral occurred on last Monday at Rose Hill Cemetery, a beautiful spot just north of Chicago. Mrs. Mathews was an earnest, faithful Christian worker, and no one in her church was more beloved than she.

Memorial services will be held in the church to which she belonged on next Sunday morning. A host of friends both in Chicago and Iowa mourn her seemingly untimely death, and the bereaved husband has the sympathy of all.
