She was born in Sullivan county, Tenn. and moved to Iowa, 34 years ago next May, and has been a resident of Story County for the last 20 years all of which she has lived in this township. She has been a member of the Evangelist and more recently of the Methodist Church, of which she was an acceptable member to the last. The funeral was preached at Iowa Centre by Rev.

She leaves three sons and one daughter, all grown, to follow her to that realm beyond the skys in the future and look to a reunion in which there shall be no more parting.
