The death of Mrs. Eva Mary Vanderveer-Card quite suddenly Tuesday morning removed from Grinnell one of its early settlers. Born in Portsmouth, Ohio, December 30, 1867, she came to Grinnell with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. U. Vanderveer, in 1876, and for fifty-four years this has been her home.

She grew here into active and interesting womanhood, and was recognized by all who knew here as a woman of great worth, modest, quiet and helpful.

In February 1910 she was united in marriage with C.J. Card, a well-known successful business and salesman of Grinnell and one of the proprietors for many years of the Card Shoe Store.

Her death occurred quite suddenly at her home in Grinnell where she had lived with her mother for several years.

Relatives surviving her are three sisters, Mrs. Lillian Batdorf and Mrs. Anna Penfield of Grinnell and Mrs. Ada Anthony of Haven. Her mother also survives her and one brother, Ralph Vanderveer of Marshalltown.

Out of town friends attending the funeral were Mrs. J.M. Fredrickson of Estherville, Fred M. Card of Burlington and son, Clayton, of the same place, Mrs. Ruel Raines and son Ruel of Kansas City.

Funeral services conducted by the Rev. Edmund Vittum and Dr. W.W. Bolt were held from the home Thursday afternoon. Music was a solo by Mrs. E.B.T. Spencer. Bearers were F.C. Clayberg, Pete Staffanou, Lester Duke, Wallace Grounds, Carl Phelps and Dr. C.V. Lawton.
