Winterset, IowaSt. Charles News
Mrs. Isabella Lathrum, in the seventy fifth year of her age, and after months of weary but patient suffering, was released from the cares of earth on last Wednesday, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. O. W. Jones, where she had been cared for by her faithful children and kind neighbors during her last illness.
Funeral occurred on Thursday, services in the Union Chapel in South township, sermon by Rev. Smith of this city and interment in the cemetery there, in which rests the remains of her departed husband and two sons.
The deceased had resided in the family home on Jones Creek for almost half a century, where she reared a large and highly respected family of sons and daughters. She was a devoted Christian mother, a faithful friend and beloved neighbor. Thus another of the most excellent persons who did so much for the credit of this part of Iowa, has been removed from a long life of usefulness.
