Mrs. Elizabeth Lytle who was brought from Des Moines last week and buried beside her daughter-in-law in the St. Charles cemetery, was in her 80th year at the time of death, and a member of the U.P. church. Her husband was killed in the battle of Black River Bridge while defending his country's flag in the late war. Grandma, as she was generally called was loved and respected by many here. She had for years been comfortably cared for and given a good home by her son J. M. Lytle, who accompanied her remains here and laid them beside his wife.
