MRS. MOREY DIES HERE; RITES TODAY
Taken Ill While On A Visit Here.

Mrs. Adah Elizabeth Morey, 69, died at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. F. C. Bendixen, a little afternoon Tuesday.

She had been visiting there a few days, having just completed a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Morey at Craig.

Mrs. Morey had been frail and in poor health for some time but Friday upon retiring seemed to be in usually good spirits. A few hours after retiring, she was taken seriously ill and her case was aggravated by a weakened heart.

NURSE CALLED.
A nurse was placed in charge, but all that doctor’s skill and loving hands could do was of no avail. She was unconscious most of the time but at times rallied.

She had a beautiful personality, and lived a fine Christian life. By her considerate ways she won a host of friends, who express sympathy to the bereaved children and grandchildren.

Adah E. Morey was born at Ames, Ia., Oct. 7, 1866. She was united in marriage to George Morey, Oct. 1, 1881.

EIGHT CHILDREN.
To this union eight children were born. George Jr. died in infancy; Mrs. Pearl Miller, Feb. 2, 1936; and a son, Ellis, April 15, 1936. The following children survive: William of Menlo; Mrs. Edith Harvey, of San Francisco, Cal.; Mrs. Clara Shelly of Grinnell; Mrs. Mildred Bendixen, of Ireton; and Vernon, of Craig. Also the following grandchildren: Glenn and Frances Morey, of Menlo; Harry and George Miller and Laura Butts, of California; Keith and Donall Harvey of San Francisco; Merrill Shelly of Grinnell; Lois Morey of Fresno, Cal.; and Dona Lee Bendixen, of Ireton. Five great grandchildren, also three sisters, Mrs. Jesse Hart of Detroit, Kansas; Mrs. Margaret Abbey of St. Joseph, Mo.; and Mrs. Hattie Johnson, of Atlantic; and a brother, John Bunning of Oklahoma.

FUNERAL TODAY.
Her remains were taken to Audubon, he old home, and the body will be in state at the home of a dear friend, Mrs. Sampson. Funeral services will be held at the Audubon M. E. church Thursday at 2 o’clock. Interment made at Exira, Ia., in the family plot.
