Mrs. Ansom McNall

Mrs. Matilda Sweitzer McNall was born at Summerset, Pennsylvania, February 22, 1860 and died very suddenly at Maxwell, Iowa, March 10, 1915.

On October 22, 1887 she was united in marriage to Mr. Ansom McNall. Two daughters were the issue of this happy marriage, one died in infancy. The surviving daughter is Mrs. Nellie May Rick of Bondurant, Iowa.

Sister McNall has been a faithful member of the Church of Christ for a number of years. She leaves besides her husband and daughter, two sisters, Mrs. Drusilla Weeks of Des Moines and Malisza Rick of Bondurant, and one grand daughter and many relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

With the exception of six years which were spent in Polk county, Sister McNall's married life was lived in this vicinity in Story county. The Maxwell Church of Christ has lost one of its faithful workers.

The funeral was held on Friday afternoon March 12, 1915 at 2 o'clock at the Church of Christ, the pastor, Dr. E. J. Nicerson conducting the same. The final offerings were very beautiful. The remains were interred in the Peoria cemetery, to which place they were followed by many sorrowing relatives and friends.
