Mrs. Jno. Penney died very suddenly
at her home in Union township on Tues-
day noon, death being caused by a
stroke of paralysis.

The deceased was fifty-five years of
age at the time of her demise. Her
maiden name was Charlotte Woodard
and she was united in marriage with
Mr. John Penney in 1862. They came
from Whiteside county, Illinois, to this
county in 1871. Besides the bereaved
husband she leaves five children to
mourn the loss of a mother's care and
tender love.

Mrs. Penny was a kind, Christian
woman who was universally respected
and beloved by a large circle of friends
and neighbors and her sudden death is
a shock to the community in which she
lived so long. She was a member of the
Methodist church during her life and
an earnest Christian.

The funeral will take place at the
Methodist church Thursday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, Rev. Robt. Bagneil con-
ducting the services.
