Died. April 11. Anna Booth, daughter of Chancey and Apaline Booth. Anna was beloved by all. Sixteen springtimes had shed its glowing beauty on her fair future, but when the seventeenth came around and called her out to revel in its delights, the angel of death was hovering near and plucked as it were the last rose from their household, for she was their only daughter. She was lain to rest in the Vernon cemetery. Rev. Davis, of Keosauqua, preached a very beautiful sermon.

The pall bearers for both were: F. A. Fulton, R. E. Coffman, G. W. Robinson, S. W. Cochran, G. Stevens, W. S. Fulton. D. A. Jack was funeral director.

[handwritten on face of obituary was the date "91"]
