OLD RESIDENT IS DEAD
PIONEER WOMAN DIES AFTER A BRIEF ILLNESS
ILL A FEW DAYS WITH PNEUMONIA
Mrs. Neville Redmon Passes Away At Her Home in America Township on Saturday Night

Three months and a day from the date of her husband's death, Mrs. N. Redmon, of America township, succumbed to a brief illness. Her death occurred on Saturday night after a few hours illness. She was suffering from a slight attack of pneumonia but during the day and evening was feeling much better and ate a good supper. Shortly after she retired to rest her son, D. D. Redmon, heard her coughing violently and going to her room asked her if he had not better call a neighbor to her assistance and summon a doctor. Before the physician arrived Mrs. Redmon had passed away.

The deceased was seventy-five years of age and was born in Grant county, Wisconsin. Her maiden name was Mary B. Tullis. She came to this part of Iowa in the very early days of settlement and when a young woman was united in marriage with a Mr. Robinson. She was united in marriage twenty-five years ago with Neville Redmon at Merrill and lived on the Redmon homestead three miles southwest of town from that time until the day of her death. Early in life Mrs. Redmon joined the Free Will Baptist church of which she was a member for several years. Later she affiliated with the Congregational church. She was a good Christian woman, highly respected in the community. She never had any children but was devoted to her stepchildren who are left to mourn her death. They are, Alfred Redmon, of Omaha; L. D. Redmon, of Anoka, Neb.; Mrs. Henry Liesenger, of America township; G. S. Redmon, of Pipestone, Minnesota; Mrs. A. Demaray, of Jackson, Neb.; W. N. Redmon, of Bonesteel, S. D.; J. G. Redmon, of LeMars; Mrs. Etta Corkins, of Woodstock, N. Y.; Mrs. Bertha Fowler, of LeMars; Mrs. A. Tucker, of Merrill. The funeral will be held this Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock at the First Congregational church.
