Pioneer Woman Dead-Mrs Albert Muxlow lived here 35 years
Has been in poor health long time

Mrs. Muxlow, wife of Albert Muxlow, a resident of Plymouth Co
35 years died at her home at Merrill Addition on Saturday afternoon. She had
been failing health for severed years suffering from internal malady, and
during the past three years seldom left her home. Although a victum of
ill-health, she was up and around attending to her household duties, smiling
and confident in spite of continual pain. A week before her death, she was
sitting up and only took to her bed a few days before she died. Mrs Albert
Muxlow was 69 years of age, her maiden name was Isabel Rowe and was born in New
Diggings, Wisconsin on 2 April 1853. She attended school and grew to womanhood
in her native place and 27 nov 1881 was united in marriage with Albert Muxlow
of Shullsburg, Wis. They enjoyed a long and happy married life and were a most
devoted couple. Following their marriage they farmed five years near
Shullsburg. Mr and Mrs Muxlow came to Le Mars in 1887 and after they arrived in
Plymouth Co, farmed the Kistle place west of town and then farmed in Preston
Twp. In 1900 they moved to the track of land in Warall addition which has been
their home since. Mr and Mrs Muxlow had no children of their own bur their home
was always open to numerous nephews and neices, who loved Mrs Muxlow as a
mother and was never happier then when surrounded by the young relatives. Mrs
Muxlow was a member of a large family, many of whom have preceded her in death.
Besides her husband she leaves to mourn her death, James Rowe of Shullsburg,
Wis, and two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Alderson and Mrs. Mary Ann Hodgson and a
large number of neices and nephews. She was a good christian woman, a homemaker
in the highest sence of the word, a loyal friend and neighbor. She was an
attendant of the Methodist church when her health permitted and was active in
the Ladies Aid Society and good works. The funeral will be held at 2:00 o'clock at
the First Methodist church. Rev. C.H. Seward officiating. Among others relatives
from out of town coming to the funeral are Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Muxlow, DesMoines,
Iowa, Mrs Orilla Muxlow of Laverne, Minn, Mr. and Mrs. George Easton, Robert and
