DEATH CLAIMS MRS. E. MARCH
EARLY SETTLER IN PLYMOUTH COUNTY DIES AT HER HOME IN SENEY

Death claimed Mrs. Elizabeth March, a pioneer resident of Plymouth county,
at her home in Seney Wednesday night [25 Jun 1930] at the advanced age of
84 years, 4 months, and 24 days.

Elizabeth Cook was born in Lincolnshire, England, on February 1, 1846, and
when three years of age came to America with her parents and settled near
Argyle, Wisconsin, where she grew to womanhood.

She was united in marriage on June 26, 1866, to Littlefair March, who
preceded her in death thirty-three years ago.

Mrs. March, who was an invalid for fifteen years, bore her suffering with
great patience and proved to her family and friends what pleasure she could
give to others while she herself suffered.

Her children, all of whom are living, J.F. March, Vermillion, S.D.; Mrs. Dan
McArthur, Sheldon; Mrs. Grant Chapman, Seney; W. L. March, Cedar Falls;
Mrs. Jessie M. Kennedy, Seney; and Miss Lucille March, of Sioux City, and
seven grandchildren: Philip and George March, of Vermillion, S.D.; Miles
McArthur, of Sheldon; T.K.Chapman, of Maurice; Miss Constance Chapman, of
Seney; Miss Erlynne March [Kennedy], of Cedar Falls; and Emerson Kennedy of
Seney, together with six great grandchildren, remain to mourn the loss of an
ever willing guide and counselor.

Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. from the Methodist church in
Seney, of which she was a member. The male quartet will render three
selections and Rev. M. L. Metcalf will officiate.

The pall bearers will be John Osborne, John Alderson, Jas. Deegan, Will
Reeves, Henry Groetken and Ed Riter. Burial will be beside her husband in
the LeMars cemetery.
