FORMER STORY WOMAN IS DEAD

MRS. JENNIE GOLDEN DIED IN A HOSPITAL AT KANSAS CITY WEDNESDAY

Mrs. Jennie Golden, widow of the late Rev. A. Lincoln Golden, died at a hospital in Kansas City, Wednesday, according to word reaching relatives in Nevada. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at the Highland Park M. E. Parsonage in Des Moines, after which interment will be in the Glendale cemetery, Des Moines.

The husband, Rev. A. Lincoln Golden, died very suddenly in Des Moines about five years ago, during the construction of the New Euclid avenue church, there, of which he was pastor.

Death was sudden, local people having received messages on Monday the she had been taken to the hospital Saturday, suffering from complications.

Mrs. Golden, who became well-known over Story county, where her husband held several pastorates, was born at Iowa Center, her maiden name being Jennie Funk. There she leaves one sister, Mrs. Clara Highly.

She leaves two sons. Hugh is engaged in the automobile business in Kansas City while the other, is Dr. Ross Golden, now an X-ray specialist at the Presbyterian hospital New York City, but who is now seriously ill in a hospital and will be unable to attend the funeral.

The late Rev. A. Lincoln Golden was a member of one of the pioneer Nevada township families and was a brother of Henderson Golden of south of Nevada and of Mrs. Wm. Finley and Mrs. Eli Kirkendall of this city. Another brother, Chester Golden, is in California. He held pastorates first in Evangelical and later in Methodist churches in the county--being at Colo, Zearing, Summit and other churches of the county.
