Miss Aletha Hayner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Hayner, of Lee township, died at the home of her parents last Friday, December 10th, after an illness of seven weeks with typhoid fever. The funeral was held Sunday, from the United Brethren church, of Jefferson township, and was conducted by Rev. Elliott, of Van Meter, after which the remains were interred in the cemetery near the church.
Mrs. Hayner was born January 1st, 1880, and was just blooming out into a beautiful womanhood when the angel of death entered the home and with his icy fingers, made his impress upon her brown and called her away from father, mother, sisters, friends, to enter into and enjoy the glories of another realm. She was a loved and loving daughter—kind, sympathetic, generous—and her death made vacant a place in the home which never can be filled. But as the months go by the first great deluge of grief and sorrow will quiet down into a kind and gentle remembrance of the fair one gone to the skies, and around her grave and the haunts she used to frequent will cling a sweet and never-to-be-forgotten memory.
The serenity and peacefulness of her death, and willingness with which she resigned her spirit to its Creator all testify to her Christian character.
