Caroline Roberts--Wife of D. J. Robertts, was born in String Prairie, Lee county, Iowa, June 19th, 1855, died March 16th, 1889 aged 34 years, 8 months 24 days.

After a married life of little more than 8 years, she goes to her rest, leaving a husband and two little motherless children to mourn her loss.

A quiet affectionate disposition made her loved and respected by all who knew her.

She had been sick for several days, but it was thought that she was much better, and her death was a shock and surprise to all the friends. We commend her spirit to our God who is faithful and just.

The funeral services took place at the home in Bonaparte, Io., Sunday, March 17, 1899 at 4 o'clock p.m. Her remains were laid in the Bonaparte cemetery.

"God gives us love; then something to love
He lends us; then when love is grown
To ripeness, that on which it throve
Falls off, and love is left alone"
