The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, November 16, 1905

MRS. J.E. WAUGH, whose maiden name was MARTHA LUCINDA ARNOLD, was born February 18, 1860 near Albia, Monroe County, Iowa, and died November 9, 1905 at Excelsior Springs, Missouri, aged 45 years, 8 months and 22 days. Early in life she became a member of the Christian Church and ever remained true to her Christian duties. For the past five years she has been one of the most faithful members of the Chariton congregation. She was married February 20, 1879, at Selection, Iowa, to MR. JOHN E. WAUGH. To this union were born three children, MRS. ALICE SANDERSON of Oregon; MRS. CAMMIE MILLER of Des Moines and MISS ZORELDA WAUGH of Chariton. These with husband, a sister, MRS. ALBERT HILTON, brother A.G. ARNOLD, half sisters, MRS. D.A. NOBLE and MRS. L.S. SYLVESTER, half brother, M.T. ARNOLD, and grandchildren, D. and WENDELL SANDERSON are thus left bereaved.

On October 28th in company with her husband she left home on a visit, spending a few days visiting at Albia and Hilton, arriving at Excelsior Springs, Mo., November 1st. On the morning of the third she was taken suddenly ill with congestion of the lungs and gradually grew worse, until in spite of the best care and medical skill, she died on the evening of November 9th. Her girlhood days were spent near Selection. After marriage she resided some time near Atlantic, Iowa, later moving to Albia. In the spring of 1900 the family moved to Chariton. She was respected by all as one of Chariton's splendid Christian women. She was also a member of the Woodman Circle. A large number of friends from Albia and Chariton attended her funeral services which were held from the Albia Christian Church, conducted by C.F. Ward, Minister for the Chariton Christian Church. Burial was at Oak View Cemetery at Albia, where she awaits the summons of the Lord she loved and whom she served so faithfully.

MR. WAUGH and daughters have our tenderest sympathy in this, their great hour of sadness.
