Obituary of Mrs. F. McInroy

Mrs. Frank McInroy passed away suddenly on Wednesday evening from a heart attack.

She had been suffering from and was being treated for a bad heart condition, for some time. Wednesday afternoon, Mr. McInroy left his wife in the house seemingly no worse than she had been, but returning a little later found her lying on the bed, lifeless.

Funeral services were held at the First Baptist church, Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, in charge of the Rev. L.D. Eaton, pastor of the church. Burial was made in Riverside cemetery.

The following obituary notice was submitted:
Lennah D. Scott was born July 15, 1867 near McIntire, Iowa and passed away October 25, 1933 at 5:30 p.m. at her home near Riceville.

She was united in marriage to Frank McInroy, July 4, 1885 at Cresco, Iowa.

To this union three children were born; two of them preceding her in death, Orval, October 17, 1917 and Lucille, March 2, 1920. Howard, living near Riceville with her husband survive her; also a brother, Charles Scott, Waterloo; five grandchildren and one great Grandchild, also a host of other relatives and friends.

She joined the Baptist church in McIntire a number of years ago, changing her membership to Riceville Baptist church, May 26, 1901. She had been a faithful member, a loving mother and a friend to all who knew her.

O, how lonesome it will be
Just for me.
Oh, it's just as still as death,
And not a sound I hear.
No, not one, sweet voice,
My lonely heart will cheer.
But, oh it won't be long
Till I too can go,
My blessed Saviour to see.

CARD OF THANKS--
We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for their many acts of kindness in our bereavement, also for the beautiful flowers.
Frank McInroy And family
