CAROLINE MCGLOTHLEN DIED LAST SATURDAY

Pioneer Resident of County Succumbs at Age of 82 Years

Mrs. Caroline McGlothlen, a pioneer resident of Madison county, died last Saturday at her home in Winterset. She was 82 years of age.

Mrs. McGlothlen was a native of Canada, where she was born in the province of Ontario on Sept. 20, 1862. She was the former Caroline Kirkland, daughter of Andrew and Nancy Anne Kirkland.

When she was 3 years old she came with her parents to Madison county. They lived in Winterset for a while.

On June 30, 1880, she was married to Albert McGlothlen. They spent most of their married life farming in Grant (Grand) River township, but in 1921, because of failing health, they moved into Winterset. Her husband died in 1921.

Mrs. McGlothlen was the mother of four children, two of whom preceded her in death. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Margaret Ann Busch, and Mrs. Etta May Barcroft, both of Winterset; one grandchild; and two great grandchildren.

Funeral services were held here Tuesday from the Ramsey-Richards Funeral home, in charge of the Rev. Walter Samp, pastor of the Methodist church, and Arthur Mortenson, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Burial was made in the Macksburg cemetery.
