LAST RITES FOR MRS. MOSHER

Mosher, who passed away at her home Sunday morning, were held Wednesday afternoon, at 2:15 from the home and at 2:30 from Wiltgen’s funeral chapel, and burial was conducted in the LeMars city cemetery. Rev. Harold Smith officiated at the services.

Cassie Maranda Mosher, nee Buffum, was born in Andalusia, Ill., on February 26, 1862, where she grew to womanhood and received her early education. She remained in Andalusia until she was married to Dr. Mosher, on October 1, 1881, and following the ceremony the couple went to Chicago, where Dr. Mosher completed his studies in medicine. Dr. Mosher graduated in February 1882, and he and his wife moved to Buffalo Prairie, where he practiced medicine.

In the fall of 1883, Dr. and Mrs. Mosher came to Ireton, Iowa, where they lived until 1904, when they moved to LeMars. They have made LeMars their home ever since.

Three children were born to this union: one daughter preceding her mother in death. Mrs. Grace Mosher Davis died in 1919. The children who survive with the devoted husband and father are: Mrs. Madge Raber, LeMars, and Mrs. E. J. Tripp of Mapleton, Ia. Thirteen grandchildren also survived, as well as two sisters and a brother, who are: Mrs. Clara Saffield, of Milan, Iowa; Mrs. Maude Johnson, of Rock Island, Ill.; and Ira Buffum, Davenport, Iowa.

Mrs. Mosher was a good wife and mother, and spent the greater part of her life in raising her family. She devoted most of her time to her home and its surroundings, and acquired many friends who enjoyed her acquaintance and who regarded her as an esteemed friend. Her many friends extend their sympathy to Dr. Mosher and family.
