On Wednesday, the operation was performed, from the effects of which she died Friday afternoon. Her daughter, Kitty, was with her at the time of her death. She never fully rallied from the shock of the operation. The remains were brought to Columbus Junction Saturday night. The funeral took place from the Methodist church Tuesday at 10 o'clock a. m.
