DEATH OF A NOBLE WOMAN.

Editors Ledger:--Mrs. E. J. HENDRICKS died the 28th ult., after a lingering illness, at the age of seventy-nine years. Rev. G. L. Minear conducted funeral services at the Parsonsville church, and a large concourse of people testified to the esteem in which the good woman was held. Mrs. HENDRICKS' maiden name was FRAZEY. She was born in Pennsylvania, where she married Wilson GREEN, and immediately the young couple moved, in a one-horse wagon, to Portage county, Ohio, where they lived until 1844, when they came to Iowa and bought Col, William Coop's large farm, on which remained the few cabins which had been the old town of Lockridge. She lived on this farm more than fifty-two years. In 1854 Mr. GREEN died, leaving his widow with five sons and two daughters to rear, all but one of whom remain to mourn their mother. After fourteen years of widowhood Mrs. GREEN married Rev. J. H. HENDRICKS, with whom she lived a beautiful and happy life of twenty-three years, Mr. H. dying in 1891. Mrs. HENDRICKS was connected with many families throughout the county, Dr. W. J. GREEN and Alfred GREEN of Fairfield being brothers of her first husband and Mrs. C. A. HERRING a granddaughter of her second husband. She was a noble woman and a sincere christian. She and her family were much the largest contributors toward building the Parsonsville church, and since building, its chief support.
