MRS. JOSEPH DENTER
Aged Lady Passes Away
Resided in Johnson County Forty-Six Years-Well Known Here.

The many friends of Mrs. Josephine Denter were grieved to learn of her death which occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Kate Abbott, Saturday evening at 5:30. While she had been ill for about two weeks and death was not unexpected, nevertheless it came as a shock to the children who survive and the many friends acquired in a long and useful life. The funeral services will be held from the home of Mrs. Abbott 28 West Jefferson street, tomorrow morning at ten o'clock and Rev. Rowlinson of the Christian church will be in charge.

Mrs. Denter had attained the ripe old age of seventy-seven years, and forty-six years of her life were spent in this county. Until last fall, she resided at North Liberty. In August she came to make her home in this city.

Mrs. Denter possessed in a marked degree those traits of character that command the respect and love of neighbors and all acquaintances. To this fact her neighbors give abundant testimony. She will be missed by many who knew and loved her.

Six children survive. They are George Denter of Brule, Nebraska, Albert and Adoplh [sic] of North Liberty, Mrs. Frankie Lininger of North Liberty and Mrs. Anna Guzeman and Mrs. Abbott of this city.
