LAST RITES FOR MRS. ANGSTEAD
Masses of Beautiful Flowers--Many Pay Their Last Respects

Funeral services for Mrs. Robert ANGSTEAD who died very suddenly Friday evening about 10 oclock at her home, 505 South E street, were held this morning at 10 oclock from the home in charge of Rev. R. H. Polly of the Christian church.

Interment took place at Evergreen cemetery.

The following men served as pall bearers: P. I. Brady, C. W. Hanna, John Rumer, J. T. Rogers, Ray Maxwell and C. J. Johnson. The Mesdames Albert Johnson and L. W. Van Nostrand sang "In the Garden," "Face to Face" and Jesus Lover of my Soul." Out of respect and sympathy for their little school mates, Robert, Richard and Betty, the students of the Washington school stood at attention along the sidewalk as the funeral procession passed.

The profusion of beautiful flowers only partially bespoke the high esteem in which this life long citizen of our community was held.

OBITUARY

MRS. ROBERT ANGSTEAD

Grace Frederick TROXEL, daughter of Charles and Frances TROXEL, was born at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. P. WRAY, five miles northeast of Fairfield, March 3, 1876, and departed this life at her home in Fairfield, Iowa, October 23, 1925. Her father passed away five months before her birth and she made her home with her grandparents until she grew to young womanhood.

On May 30, 1893 she was united in marriage to Robert H. ANGSTEAD and to this union six children were born: Charles L., Des Moines, Paul J., Kansas City; Mrs. Everett TURNIPSEED, Richard, Robert and Betty at home, who with her husband and one sister, Mrs. W. B. PARRETT and three little grandchildren survive her.

During the O. E. Hamilton meeting at the Christian church twenty years ago she and her sister, Mrs. W. B. PARRETT together united with the church. While unable to attend and take an active part in the church work, she yet found time to train her children in the right way of living. She was devoted to her home and family and willingly sacrificed for them.

Funeral services were held from the home Monday forenoon at 10:30 oclock conducted by her pastor, Rev. R. H. Polly. Mrs. L. W. VanNostrand and Mrs. Albert Johnson sang "In the Garden," "Face to Face," and "Jesus Lover of My Soul." Interment was made in Evergreen cemetery.
