AN OBITUARY OF MRS. GEORGE LUNDY
(From The Brooklyn Chronicle).

Mrs. George Lundy of Malcom died at her home Saturday morning. She had many relatives and friends in Brooklyn who were shocked to hear of her death.

Nettie Catherine Lineweaver, a daughter of Charles and Rebecca Lineweaver, who have preceded her in death, was born on a farm north of Brooklyn, April 6, 1881, and passed away in Malcom on December 20, 1930, being at the time of her death 49 years, 8 months and 14 days old.

She grew to womanhood on the farm where she was born, and was married February 15, 1898, to George T. Lundy. To this union one child was born who died in infancy.

She made her home in Malcom most of her married life. She united with the Fairmont M.E. Church early in life.

She leaves to mourn her passing her beloved husband, four brothers and four sisters, and a host of other relatives and friends.

The brothers and sisters are: J.F. Lineweaver, Mrs. J.A. Evans, Mrs. Pearl Andes and Mrs. Clara Wiley, all of Brooklyn, Mrs. J.C. Johnston of Montezuma, C.B. Lineweaver of Inverness, Mont., F.D. Lineweaver of Los Angeles, and A.D. Lineweaver of Des Moines.

Funeral services were held at the M.E. Church in Malcom, conducted by the Rev. E.W.F. Holler of the Brooklyn Presbyterian Church. Interment was in the Malcom cemetery.

"A precious one from us is gone
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given.
And though the body slumbers here
The soul is safe in heaven."

Those who attended the funeral from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. A.D. Lineweaver and daughter of Des Moines, Mrs. Lucy Wood and son Ray of Marshalltown, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kreiger and children of Newton, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Wiley of Newton, and Thomas Lundy of Strawberry Point.

The pall bearers were Ralph Winchell, Wood Reams, James Bryant, Ernest Collin, Corey Hatcher and Homer McCaulley.
