Pritchard Funeral Held On Sunday Afternoon at Collins

Special to the Journal.
Collins, Aug. 26--Funeral services for Mrs. Mabel Pritchard, 43, wife of F. G. Pritchard, who died Thursday, were held Sunday afternoon at the Methodist church in Collins, with Rev. C. E. Lookingbill of Nevada in charge. He was assisted by Rev. Hahanshelt, pastor of the church. Interment was in the Collins cemetery.

Sadie Mabel Hand, second daughter of William and Rose Hand, was born near Dickens, Iowa, May 19, 1892 and died at her home west of Collins, August 21, 1935, at the age of 43 years and 3 months.

With the exception of a few months all her life has been spent in the vicinity of Collins and Maxwell.

Those mourning the loss of a devoted wife and mother are the husband, Flavious V. Pritchard, daughters: Beatrice of Des Moines, Arleen J., Virginia R., Rose Etta, Katherine M., Ila May and Lois A., and son William F. at home.

Besides the husband and children she is survived by her mother, Mrs. Rose Hand, two sister, Mrs. Marie Dodd of Collins and Mrs. Opal Jester of Detroit, Michigan, and three brothers, Arthur and Fay Hand of Collins and William A. Hand, with the Pacific fleet, stationed at San Pedro, California.

The decease was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal church and an efficient, tireless worker in the different branches of that organization. She was also a member of the F. and N. club.

In the passing of Mrs. Pritchard, a much beloved woman has been taken from her community, her home, her family and her friends.

Her neighborly kindness, her thoughtfulness, her efficiency and her pleasing personality remain a pleasant memory in the lives of all who knew her.
