Frances Elizabeth Gillogly Lorenzen was born at Fairfield, Iowa, September 8, 1847, and died at her home in Winterset on July 10, 1911, aged 63 years, 10 months and 2 days.

She came to Madison county in the winter of 1871, and on October 18, 1873, was united in marriage to Fritz Julius Lorenzen. To this union four children were born, one dying in infancy. The family came to Winterset in 1892, and later returned to the farm near Peru, and in 1907 moved again to Winterset, which has since been the home.

While a young woman she became a member of the M. E. church, and later in life united with the Church of Christ under the preaching of Butler Bird, and died in the hope of eternal life. As the end of this weary pilgrim age grew near the desire to depart and be with Christ became more and more evident. The children were with her to life's close, and all tht loyal, loving hearts and hands could do was done, and quietly and peacefully the spirit left the body. There remain to mourn her death, the husband, two daughters, Mrs. Nora Lorimor, of Van Meter, Mrs. Della Tilp, of Peru, one son, John, of Peru, two grandchildren, her aged mother, Mrs. Rachel Gillogly, of Patterson; two sisters, Mrs. Samuel Blosser of Patterson, Mrs. Chas. Fullhart, of Indiana; two brothers, William of California and James of Patterson. The body was taken to Patterson Wednesday, where at 10 a.m., the funeral service was held in the Church of Christ, conducted by the Rev. L. F. Davis. Interment was in the Patterson (Montpelier) cemetery. Through the columns of the Reporter we desire to express our thanks to the friends nd neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of our wife and mother. Signed Fritz Lorenzen, Mrs. H. R. Lorimor, Mrs. Charles Tilp, John Lorenzen
