Funeral services were held for Mrs. J. B. Ogden at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at the home of her sister, Mrs. R. H. Malin, at Washington in charge of Rev. Vernon H. Carter, pastor of the Christian church. Interment in Elm Grove cemetery.
Mada McFarland Ogden, daughter of William and Martha Connor McFarland, was born in Taylor county, Iowa, May 24, 1870 and passed to the Great Beyond at the University hospital, Iowa City at 8:30 a.m., June 3, 1935 at the age of sixty-five years and ten days.
Her early life was in Washington county. In 1910, she graduated from the Universal Chiropractic college in Davenport, Iowa and for thirteen years was very successful as a drugless physician in Iola, Kansas and Minneapolis, Minn. On September 12, 1924 she was united in marriage to John B. Ogden of Minneapolis, and since then has not engaged in the practice of her profession.
When fifteen years of age she united with the Pleasant Hill Christian church, but later transferred her membership to the same church in Washington, Iowa, where it remained until her decease. She has always remained true to her Christian faith and in her correspondence with the family referred to her adherence to the religious convictions of her parents; during her recent illness she expressed her implicit faith and trust in the God of her fathers. Her love of home and her home folks, and her loyalty to the ties which bound each to the others was an admirable and a commendable trait of her character, as it is in all the family.
To revere her memory she leaves her husband, J. B. Ogden, Chicago; one brother, J. R. McFarland, Iola, Kansas and three sisters, Mrs. A. H. Essley, Mrs. R. H. Malin and Mrs. Newton O'Loughlin, all of Washington, Iowa. She also leaves several nieces and nephews besides many intimate friends to mourn her departure.--Washington Journal.
