Death of Mrs. C.W. Sheets

People of Keosauqua and vicintiy were greatly shocked when news came last Sunday morning that Mrs. C.W. Sheets had passed away at 3 o'clock that morning at her home in Des Moines township about three miles south of Keosauqua. Mrs. Sheets had been in poor health for some time but our people were not prepared for this sudden shock as the family thought she was improving and she was seen at the band concert here Saturday night apparently enjoying the music from a seat in her car.

She leaves to mourn the loss of a noble mother, seven children, six sons and one daughter, all at home except Ray, who has employment at Milwaukee, and all were at the funeral. They are: Ray, Ivan, Carl, Floyd, Loren and Lester, (twins) and Mary.

Besides the children she is survived by her husband, father (Granville Hanan), brother Jas. Hanan of Boulder, Colo., and sisters Imogne Waechter of Yuma, Colo.; Mary Kingsbury of Des Moines township, and Dora Hanan of Keosauqua.

The funeral which was largely attended by many relatives and friends, was held this afternoon (Wednesday), Eld. Nickle of Keosauqua in charge, at Center Chapel and interment was in the cemetery there.

We shall have an obituary for next week.

Unknown newspaper. Date of death was July 11, 1926. From the collection of Hazel Alexander.
