MRS. TRIMBLE DIES SATURDAY
Passes Away Just One Week Following
Death of Her Husband --
Funeral to be Tomorrow.

Special to the Daily News
Mitchellville, Ia. March 19--Mrs. William [Sarah Fletter] Trimble died here last Saturday afternoon, making her death just seven days after the death of her husband.

She had been seriously ill with la grippe and pneumonia for a couple of weeks and after the death of Mr. Trimble very little hope was entertained for her recovery.

The Trimble family moved here from the Metz neighborhood only recently, Jasper county having been their place of residence for the past half of century.

Mrs. Trimble was 75 years old and her husband who preceded her in death a week ago was 80 years of age.

She leaves three sons, Charles of north of Newton; Fred of Minnesota, and Andrew of Mitchellville. Three daughters preceded her in death. They were Mrs. Hattie Benskin, Mrs. William Gist and Miss Frankie Trimble.

Funeral services will be held in the Metz church at 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Burial will be made in the Metz cemetery. ~ The Newton Daily News, March 19, 1923.
