FUNERAL SERVICES HELD ON SATURDAY FOR MRS. A.E. DEAN

Mrs. Dean Will Long be Remembered as a Woman Who Loved Family, Friends and Flowers, And Who Devoted Life to These Weary and worn from a life of service devoted to family and friends, Mrs. A.E. Dean passed peacefully into earth's last sleep at the family home on South Locust street in Glenwood about 9 o'clock last Wednesday evening.

Mrs. Dean had been in failing health for the past several years but she had been patient and uncomplaining sufferer. It had seemed at several times that it was only her courageous and indomitable spirit which sustained her and prolonged her days of usefulness here among her loved ones. Next to her love for her family and friends was her love for flowers and many a sick room has been brightened by the flowers from her gardens and many a one in ill health has been strengthened by her cheerful presence, for even in these later years when a constant sufferer from heart trouble, which made it difficult for her to get about, she did not find it too difficult to visit the sick and afflicted. Her passing brings not only sorrow and sadness to those of her family circle, but to the many whose lives she touched in her helpful, cheerful manner, among whom her memory will always be cherished.

Sarah Frances Hubbell was born June 5, 1872, at Columbus Grove, O. As an infant she was brought by her parents, Garrett V. and Elizabeth Bogart Hubbell, to Nebraska, and at 3 years of age, to Lyons township. Here she attended school and grew to womanhood.

She was married to Alvin E. Dean of Lyons township, March 18, 1890, and their home has been in Lyons township and in Glenwood continuously, except for seven years spent in Polk county, Mo.
She is survived by her husband, and by their three children, Fred, Lucille (Mrs. Wendell Lambert) and Wylma (Mrs. Milo Stevens), by one sister, Mrs. L.W. Lambert, and one brother, Charles T. Hubbell, and by 11 grandchildren.

She united with the Campbell's Grove Baptist church, in Polk county, Mo., in 1898, and found great pleasure serving in that church, and later in Burr Oak Friends church, and in the Glenwood Baptist, and West Oak Baptist church, of which she was a member at the time of her death.
The funeral services were held in the home Saturday afternoon, with Rev. J.F. Stille, pastor of the Emerson Baptist church, and a long time friend of the family, in charge assisted by Rev. L.W. Verts, pastor of the Glenwood Baptist church.

Music for the service consisted of playing softly favorite hymns of Mrs. Dean by Mrs. R.E. Humphrey at the piano. The floral offerings were a beautiful tribute to the memory of this woman who loved family, friends and flowers, but none were more beautiful nor carried a meaning of greater significance than those from her own garden which filled a large basket and stood at the head of the casket. The ladies in charge of the flowers were Mrs. Lee Sargent and Mrs. T.O. Eller.
The pallbearers were Ray Wiles and Ernest Hutchison of Plattsmouth, Richard Groneweg and Ernest Carter of Council Bluffs and Oscar Lee and F.E. Dashner of this city.

The body was laid to rest in the family lot in the Glenwood cemetery.
