SERVICES HELD MONDAY FOR MISS IDA BONE, 95 LIFETIME COUNTY RESIDENT

Funeral services were conducted Monday, May 10, for a lifetime countian, Miss Ida Bone, 95. The Rev. Frank Jacobs officiated at the 2 p.m. service from the Steffy Funeral Home. Miss Alice Underwood was the organist.

Casket bearers were Fred Zorn, Howard Bernard, William Pitka, Glenn Bryan, Louis Schoales and Harlan Wolford with interment in the Masonic IOOF cemetery.

Miss Bone died suddenly Saturday morning at the home of Mrs. Emma Groenenboom, where she had made her home the past four years. Well known in the community as an interesting conversationalist, she maintained her interest in life and received and enjoyed callers until her death.

Ida Sarah, daughter of Rachel(Beason) and Thomas Bone, was born Feb. 16, 1870 in Union Township, Poweshiek County, Iowa. In 1921 she moved to Montezuma, where she resided until her death.

In 1905 she became a member of the Montezuma Methodist Church. Until failing health curtailed her participation, she was an enthusiastic and active worker in the Church and the King's Daughters Sunday School Class. Since 1920 she had been a member of the Wisner Circle, G.A.R. and the Vashti Rebekah Lodge #113.

She was the youngest of eight children; her parents, four sisters and three brothers, preceded her in death.

She is survived by one cousin, several nieces and nephews.
