Mrs. J. H. Layton, a resident of this community practically her entire life, died Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock at her home on West Hill after a brief illness. She had been in failing health for some time but not critically ill until Tuesday night.

Mrs. Layton, whose maiden name was Mary Riley, was born at Utica, New York, December 25, 1854 and was aged 80 years, 3 months and 2 days.
She came to Iowa in early girlhood and was united in marriage to John H. Layton in 1871. They spent their entire married life in this and the Fredonia, Sandy Grove and other nearly communities. Since the death of Mr. Layton in 1920 she has made her home the greater part of the time in this city.

Mrs. Layton was highly esteemed by all who knew her. She was devoted to her home and lived an earnest, consecrated Christian life.

She is survived by one son, Edgar A. Layton of this city and one grandson, Gilbert Layton of Washington.

Her husband and three sons, William, Robert and Charles and two daughters, Ella and Mollie, preceded her in death.

Funeral services will be held at the St. Joseph Catholic church at 10:30 Friday morning conducted by the Rev. Father Paul Moore.
