Anna Prudence SHAMP (dau. of Jesse SHAMP and his second wife?), born Jan. 21, 1858, at Wooster, Jefferson County, Iowa, passed away at her home near Brookville May 8, 1906, being in her forty-ninth year. She had been married three time (sic) and to her first husband, Joe HIBBS (Apr. 24, 1874), one child was born to them, Joe W. HIBBS who resides in Winslow, Arkansas. March 18, 1880, she was united in marriage to John P. HUDGELL, who died Dec. 14, 1895. There were born to them four children, William E., who died in infancy; Harry M., who resides at Valley Junction, Iowa; Frank D. and Mabel P. of this county.

On July 30, 1900, she was united in marriage to Samuel SALTS, who survives her. Mrs. SALTS suffered an attack of appoplexy (sic) in the fall of 1905 from which she never fully recovered, and it was a second attack that broght (sic) her to her sudden death last Tuesday morning. The report of her death came to her many friends as a sad blow. She formerly was a resident of Fairfield and had many warm and sincere friends who mourn her sudden departure from this life. She was a devoted wife and mother, and a kind neighbor and a sympathetic friend, and her life record was one of sacrifice for those who were near and dear to her.

The funeral was held Thursday morning in this city at the Free Methodist church, conducted by Rev. Louis Mendenhall of this city. A large concourse of sympathizing friends attended the last sad rites and she was quietly laid away in the silent grave yard. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in this their sad bereavement.
