Mrs. Frank Younkin died at her home on the evening of the 23rd after an illness of several weeks. The family has the sympathy of the entire community in this their great bereavement. This was a very sad affair. On the day following her death their home was quarantined for scarlet fever, their little boy being afflicted with that dread disease, so the neighbors and friends could no longer go and do what they could, only a few being permitted to be present and on Christmas day at one o’clock she was laid to rest in the Hamblin cemetery.

Obituary

Henrietta Scott was born in Washington county, Iowa, near Riverside, July 27, 1867, departed this life Dec. 23, 1903, at her home near Winterset, Madison county. She united with the M. E. church early in life, but at the time of her departure she and husband belonged to the Congregational church.

She was united in marriage June 25, 1880, to F. S. Younkin. After their marriage they remained in Washington county for a few years and then removed to Pottowatamie county, and remained for seven years. They then removed to their present location.

To them were born four children, three of whom are still living, the other having died in infancy. She had been suffering for the past two months with one form of Bright’s disease. There was at her bedside besides her own family, her two sisters, Mrs. Walker of Iowa City, Iowa and Mrs. J. F. McConnell of Oakland, Iowa. To make matters more sad at such time, scarlet fever took down one of the children the evening the mother died although in a mild form, but the home was placed under quarantine. The remains were taken to their last resting place in the most private manner, the only immediate relatives being present were husband and brother-in-law, the writer of these lines. It was the saddest funeral I ever witnessed. J.F.M.
