She is survived by the four children: Oscar B. Hamilton of Kansas City, Kan., Mrs. Edith Neff of Ft. Des Moines, Mrs. Iva Duff of Des Moines, and Mrs. Maude Johnson of Truro. She also leaves 12 grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Funeral services were held last Saturday from the Ramsey-Richards funeral home, in charge of the Rev. W. A. Samp of the Methodist church. Burial was made in the Winterset cemetery.
