Mrs. R. Woolverton
Died, Cedar Falls,
After Long Illness

Osage friends of the Roy Woolvertons were sorry indeed to learn of the death of Mrs. Woolverton, at her home at 57-1207 Twenty-Third Street, Cedar Falls, Sunday, September 13. Mrs. Woolverton had been in poor health for several months, and since a stroke of paralysis several weeks ago had been practically helpless.

The Woolvertons lived here in Osage from the time they were married until eleven years ago, when for business advantages they moved their printing company to Cedar Falls. The family were prominent members of the Methodist church, and a large part of the social life of the town. Mrs. Woolverton also took her part in affairs at Cedar Falls and was identified with the D. A. R., the Women's Club and the Methodist Church.

Her kindness to the young men and women from Osage, away from home for the first time, perhaps attending the Teachers college, will be recalled with appreciation by a good many. It was her custom to entertain them in her home, and assist them to become acquainted in any way she could.

Corrine B. Kibbe was born at Fairwater, Wisconsin, November 16, 1874.

Surviving besides her husband is there two daughters, Leila, of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Mrs. Cornelia Lynch, of Monmouth, Illinois; a grandson, Daniel Lewis Lynch, her brothers, Leland Kibbe, Middle Lake, Saskatchawan, Canada, and William Kibbe, of Burtsville, Pennsylvania.

Funeral services are to be held this afternoon from the home at 2:30, in charge of the Reverend W. G. Rowley, pastor of the Methodist church, and burial will be made in the Greenwood Cemetery at Cedar Falls.
