Mediapolis New Era-News.--Funeral services were held Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock at Trinity church, near Mt. Union, for the late Mrs. Geo. Irwin, of Cedar Rapids, who passed away last Wednesday. Rev. D. E. Kerr conducted the services and burial was made in the cemetery at the church.

Jen Zion was born on June 20, 1870 at Pleasant Grove, Iowa, and died on June 12, 1935, at her home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, at the age of 64 years, 11 months and 22 days. She was the daughter of George and Sarah Zion.

She was married to George L. Irwin on September 28, 1898, at Columbus Junction, Iowa. The young couple lived in Mediapolis for about fifteen years. During her stay in Mediapolis she became a member of the First Presbyterian church, and when she removed to Cedar Rapids, she transferred her membership to the Westminster Presbyterian church of that city.

She was taken ill about three months ago, and although she carried on bravely, and everything possible was done for her, her physical strength gradually waned, until the end came at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12.

She leaves her immediate family, her husband, George L. Irwin, and son, John, and also two sisters, Mrs. Ed Aldrich, of Mt. Union, and Mrs. Russell Talbot, of Fairfield. Her father, mother, and one brother, Charles, preceded her in death.
