Anstine: Margaret Ada Jane Guy, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Guy, was born in Canada, August 5, 1863, and died in hospital at Rochester, Minnesota, February 18, 1905, being 41 years, 6 months and 12 days old. She came to the United States with her parents when two years old, first settling in Wisconsin, later in Pocahontas county, Iowa, where most of her life was spent.

She was united in marriage to Elmer F. Anstine on October 18, 1888. One son was born to their union, who with her husband survives her.

She was converted to God at the age of fifteen and has lived an acceptable member of the Methodist Episcopal church. She loved God's word and was never happier than when she could read it or impart its truth to others. Her last hours were peaceful and evidenced implicit trust in her Redeemer. This is shown in a letter penned to her young son, just before her death. Mrs. Anstine was, until the progress of disease compelled her to disist, an active member of the church of her choice, a teacher in Sabbath school, member of Epworth League, an officer in both home and foreign missionary societies, also active in ladies aid society of the Seney Methodist Episcopal church.

The funeral service was held Sunday, February 19, at two o'clock in the Seney church in the presenceo of a large number of friends. Interment occurred at Pomeroy, Iowa, where most of her relatives reside.
