Alice Barnett Lathrum, daughter of Oscar Aaron and Mary Ann Wilson, was born July 17, 1901, in La Mar, Colorado, and died August 19, 1990, at the Good Samaritan Center in Indianola, at the age of 89 years.

She and her family moved from Colorado when she was a small child, to the Ackworth, Iowa area and she attended school there until they moved to Indianola, where she attended high school.

On November 22, 1922, she married John William (Bill) Lathrum, and they moved to St. Charles, where they operated the hotel and where Bill was a barber.

To this marriage was born four children: two daughters, Alice Bea and Mary June; and two sons, Louis and Jess.

After the death of her husband, she moved her family to Indianola. There she worked as a clerk in the “Ben Franklin Dime Store” and for a brief time at Harrison’s Variety Store.

Alice was preceded in death by her husband, her daughter Alice Bea Latiano, her parents, a sister and a brother.

She is survived by her daughter, Mary June Adams and husband Jim of Martensdale; her sons Louis and wife Betty of Indianola and Jess and wife Judy of Des Moines; and 12 grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren.
