OBITUARY

Hannah Elizabeth Tomlinson, was born in Harvard county, Maryland, May 23, 1856, and died at her home at Peoria City, Iowa, July 17, 1908, being, at her death, 52 years, one month and twenty-four days old.

In the same year of her birth her parents removed to Illinois, at which place they resided until the fall of 1869, when they again removed to Iowa and settled on the old homestead near Peoria City, where her mother and one brother still reside.

She was of a family of eleven children, seven boys and four girls, all of whom survive her except one sister who died in infancy, her father also having died some years ago.

The was united in marriage to M. L. Hutson on the fourth day of June, 1876. To this union was born seven children, one boy and six girls, five of them living to be grown, one boy and one girl having died in infancy. All are alive and were in attendance at the funeral, except Etta, wife of L. Kirkman, who preceded her mother not a year ago.

Sister Hutson made a profession of religion in early girlhood and united with the M. P. church at Peoria City, of which she remained a faithful member all her life. She never made much demonstration in the performance of public christian duties, but proved her faith in her
Saviour by training her children in the right paths of light as much as she could and, by serving her household with a never faltering service, such as she was able to render, regardless of her own comfort if only her family could be happy.

She leaves to mourn her loss, a mother, Mrs. Ann Tomlinson; seven brothers, Samuel J., Albert E., and George, of Maxwell; Charles T. of Arthur, James A. of Ottumwa, Henry of Bondurant and William of Springfield, Ill. Also two sisters, Mrs. Rosie Bachous of Collins, and Mrs. Thressie Cook of Des Moines. Also a husband and four daughters, all of Maxwell, and a host of relatives, who have the sympathies of the entire community.

Mrs. Hutson was a good woman, a faithful companion and a devoted mother, and none can fill her place. The Saviour called her and she was willing to go at His command.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. T. F. Martin, in the Peoria City church, Sunday, July 19, at 2 p.m., assisted by the Maxwell choir, which rendered excellent service in singing appropriate hymns. There was a large concourse of friends in attendance.

The remains were laid to rest in Peoria City cemetery to await the awakening, when the dead in Christ shall rise.
