Mrs. Irene Males

Irene David Males, daughter of Eli and Mary Woolery was born in Indiana on April 2, 1852 and passed away March 12, 1934, at the age of 81 years, eleven months and ten days. When a child she moved with her parents to Madison county, Iowa, where she grew to womanhood. She was the fourth child in a family of eleven having four sisters and six brothers. She received her education in the rural schools of Madison county.

Early in life she sought and found her Saviour, uniting with the Methodist church at Worthington where she remained a loyal member until her removal to Earlham where she transferred her membership to the Earlham Methodist church.

On the second day of January 1895 she became the wife of Enoch Males and together they established a home in west Earlham. In May 1918 the husband departed this life leaving the wife alone in the home.

In her going she leaves seven nieces and four nephews with their families and a host of friends and neighbors.

MRS. IRENE MALES TAKEN BY DEATH

Funeral Today for Local Woman, 81, Who Passed Away Monday Night at Her home.

Mrs. Irene Males, who would have been 82 years old next month, passed away late Monday night at her home in west Earlham. Funeral services were held this afternoon from the Earlham Methodist Church, conducted by Rev. B. W. McEldowney, of Fontanelle, a former pastor. Burial was at the Earlham Cemetery.

Death was due to a heart attack. Mrs. Males had been in ordinary health, though she recently recovered from an attack of influenza. She attended Sunday school and church last Sunday. Friends visiting her the next day found her ill in bed with what was believed to be acute indigestion. Her condition was not considered serious.

Late Monday night Miss Fern Coffman, who had been called in to care for Mrs. Males, noticed that her patient seemed much worse. She immediately called Mrs. Walter Price and a doctor was summoned a few minutes later. When the physician arrived Mrs. Males was beyond medical attention.
