REBECCA IRVIN, LONG RESIDENT OF IOWA, DEAD

Rebecca A. Irvin, the last member of a pioneer Iowa family, died Saturday at the home of her son. J. W. Irvin, after a lingering illness.

Born in Putnam county, Indiana, Jan. 20, 1847, she was brought to Iowa when 6 years old by her father, John Landers, following the death of her mother. The family, which consisted of eight children and the father, settled in Madison county.
