Death of Mrs. Mollie Dunlap

Mary E. Trimmer, daughter of J. F. and Catherine Trimmer was born May 6, 1847, in Perry county, Pennsylvania, and passed suddenly into the life eternal December 5, 1927, at the home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. J. H. Trimmer, Decatur, Illinois, her age being 80 years, 6 months and 29 days.

In her early girlhood days she moved with her parents from Pennsylvania to Decatur, Illinois, where she lived until 1875. On November 4, 1875, she was united in marriage to W. L. Henry. That year, she with her husband, moved to Earlham where in the Early Chapel neighborhood, they lived until 1893. It was in this year that her husband died. After her husband’s death she went back to Decatur, Illinois, where she remained until the death of her mother. Then she came back to Earlham and later was united in marriage to William T. Dunlap, who died in 1917.

She united with the church in her early girlhood in Decatur, Illinois, later to the Church of Early Chapel and later to the Church of Christ in Earlham.

Mrs. Dunlap leaves to mourn her loss two brothers, J. L. Trimmer, Decatur, Illinois and D. W. Trimmer, Albion, Indiana, a number of nieces and nephews and many relatives and friends.

The funeral service was preached by Rev. F. C. McCallon, minister of the Church of Christ of Winterset, assisted by Rev. LaVerne Freeman, minister of the Early Chapel Church of Christ and Rev. A. N. Simpson, the local pastor of the Church of Christ of Earlham, where the services were held. Interment was made in the Worthington cemetery.

Mrs. Wm. Dunlap, who recently left here to spend the winter with her sister-in-law Mrs. J. F. Trimmer at Decatur, Ill., passed away unexpectedly at that home at nine-forty Monday evening in her 80th year. She retired for the night at eight-thirty that evening, apparently in normal health. At about nine o’clock she was prostrated by a heart attack induced by hardening of the arteries, and while a physician was summoned at once, it was impossible to re-establish circulation and she slipped away peacefully from unconsciousness into eternity. The Trimmer home was saddened in August by the death of Mrs. Dunlap’s brother J. F. Trimmer, as the result of being struck down by an automobile.

The body was brought to Earlham this morning by two nieces, Mrs. P. W. Keister and Miss Florence Trimmer, who were accompanied by a friend and former resident south of Earlham, Mr. I. K. Gregory. Funeral services will be conducted at the Earlham Church of Christ Friday morning by Rev. McCallon, of Winterset, and interment will be in the cemetery at Worthington.
