OBITUARY.

Laura Cornelia COREY, wife of Rev. J. F. AHLIN, died March 9th at Longmont, Col. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. COREY of this city and was born at Beckwith May 12th (sic - 13th), 1863. December 13th, 1893, she was married to Rev. J. F. AHLIN in this city. Since her marriage she has been a resident of Centerville, Iowa, St. Louis, Mo., and was living in Boone county when her health failed. In August, 1903, she went to Colorado, hoping a change of climate would prove beneficial. After more than three years of patient suffering she succumbed to that dread disease, tuberculosis. The body, accompanied by Rev. J. F. AHLIN and E. R. COREY, was brought here for burial Thursday. Services were held at the English Lutheran church at 10 o'clock that morning. Rev. C. J. Bengston of Rock Island, Ill., who performed her wedding ceremony, conducted the services. He was assisted by Rev. W. Luther Bright and Rev. J. M. Persenius of Four Corners. The body was laid to rest in the Evergreen cemetery. Mrs. AHLIN is survived by her husband and two children, Esther, aged ten, and Margaret, aged six. Her parents, a brother, O. R. COREY, and a sister, Mrs. J. S. GAUMER, all of this city, and a brother, S. A. COREY of Hiteman survive her. The following persons from out of town attended the funeral: Mrs. and Mrs. Harlan Cummings, Noble; Mrs. Elmer Martin, Wayland; S. A. COREY, Hiteman; Rev. Norrbom, Swedesburg; Rev. Moreland, Keokuk; Rev. Swenson, Mediapolis; Emma Persenius, Four Corners; Rev. C. J. Bengston, Rock Island, Ill.
