From Nevada Representative May 18, 1881

Iowa Centre Items.

Our community was shocked on Saturday morning by the reported death of Mrs. Maria Benethum Nee Smith wife of George Benethum. Mrs. B. who was in the prime of life, has lived in our village from girlhood, was well known and respected by every one, she leaves a husband and two children with whom we bow in sympathy and sadness. The funeral services were by Rev. J. A. Lewis, at the M. E. Church.
