REA—Mrs. A. E. Rea, wife of a farmer two miles north of James Station, died
on Sunday. Funeral today.—Sioux City Journal, Nov. 14.
If ever there was a patient, noble, Christian woman, it was Mrs. Rea. She
with her husband settled in the Floyd Valley some twenty-five years ago.
She was the mother of fourteen children, most if not all of whom, are still
alive. For many years she has been unable to go about, yet she suffered
uncomplainingly, and superintended her large family. She was a devoted and
devout Christian. Peace to her ashes.
