DIED.

MINOR---Barbara, wife of William Minor of Liberty township, Plymouth county,
Iowa, June 1, aged 39 years.

The deceased was born in Switzerland and accompanied her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. John Diediker, to America in 1861. They settled in Dane county,
Wisconsin, and moved from that locality to Webster City, Iowa, a few years
later. July 4, 1869, she was married to William Minor and in 1881 they
settled in western Iowa. She leaves her companion and six children. The two
oldest children, who are married, together with the remainder of the family,
were present at the funeral, which took place last Friday, Rev. E. Mueller
officiating. The aged mother of the deceased and four brothers and four
sisters, besides a great company of admirers hereabouts will mourn her loss
and truly sympathize with the heart stricken husband and children, for to
have known the deceased was but to love and admire her many womanly graces.
