ZELLA SANDERMAN
SUCCUMBS 4 DAYS
AFTER HUSBAND

Mrs. Zella Sanderman, age 82, of Malcom, died Sunday afternoon at a Des Moines hospital following hospitalization of one week.

She was the daughter of Charles S. and Margaret Graham Woods, and was born Jan. 24, 1881, at Prairie City, Iowa. The family moved to State Center, Iowa, where she graduated from high school. Later, she taught school in the Marshall County schools.

In 1905, she was united in marriage with Henry J. Sanderman, and to this union was born one daughter, Allene, of Malcom. In addition to her daughter, Mrs. Sanderman is survived by two brothers and one sister: Dr. Laird Woods of Malcom, Clarence Woods of State Center, and Grace Woods of Grinnell.

Mrs. Sanderman's husband, Henry, died suddenly, just last Wednesday, while she was hospitalized in Des Moines. She was also preceded in death by her three brothers and one sister--Fred, Graham, Archie, and Hallie.

Following her marriage to Henry Sanderman, they lived in Owatonna, Minn., and 20 years ago moved to the farm just north of Malcom. She was a member of the Malcom Methodist church, Holly Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, the Malcom Study Club, and the Malcom Garden Club.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Malcom Methodist church with the Rev. Wilson Hyde, pastor of the Union Park Methodist church in Des Moines, officiating, assisted by the Rev. James Robinson, pastor of the Malcom Methodist church.

Burial will be in the Melbourne, Iowa, cemetery. Friends may call at the Smith Funeral Home until 10 a.m. Wednesday.
