Mrs. S.J. (Edna) Pooley, 88, of Mason City, a longtime Grinnell resident, died at Mason City Tuesday.

She had been a resident of Grinnell for many years before moving to Mason City a few years ago.

She was born at Rockford, Ia., on April 17, 1876, and attended the Rockford schools and Grinnell college. On July 7, 1920, she was united in marriage with S.J. Pooley, who survives.

Also surviving are two step-sons, John W. Pooley of Duluth, Minn., and S.R. Pooley of Des Moines; and four nephews, Roger C. Patton, Willis Patton, and Dr. Draper Long, all of Mason City, and Bradford Patton of Florida.

Preceding her in death were four sisters, Mrs. W.E. Long and Mrs. W.L. Patton, both of Mason City; Mrs. L.S. Button of Outlook, Sask., Canada, and Miss Clara Lyon of Rockford, and two brothers, Arthur Lyon of Grinnell and George Lyon of Minneapolis, Minn.

While she lived in Grinnell, Mrs. Pooley was an active member of the P.E.O. Entre Nous club, and the First Congregational church.
