Obituary

Mrs. Elizabeth Spervestage Arnold was born in New York in 1851 and moved with her parents to Iowa in 1853, and with the exception of a few years made Iowa her home until her death. She died at her home in the northeast part of town on Oct. 15th at the age of 52 years from a stroke of apoplexy from which she has suffered for more than a year with her head and at last died very suddenly. She leaves a husband and three daughters to mourn her loss. The funeral occurred from the home Sunday and she was laid to her last rest in the Rock City cemetery.
