MRS. WM. E. McLELAND

Christena Isabella McLeland was born near Upton, Van Buren county, Iowa, October 1, 1852, and died at her home in Milton, Iowa, at five o'clock Christmas morning, December 25, 1923 at the age of seventy-one years, two months and twenty-four days.

She was a daughter of Adam and Mary A. Teter and was united in marriage to William E. McLeland, October 26, 1872. To this union were born eight children, seven sons and one daughter. She was bereft of her husband, who passed away February 13, 1918, and a few months after the death of the husband her son Leon was called.

With the exception of a short time that she lived in Unionville, Mo., her life has been spent in Van Buren county and her home has been in Milton since 1906.

Early in life she was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church and continued a member of the same until her death.

The surviving children are Harvey L., George, Frank, Harry and Blanche Madden, all of Milton, Iowa; Clarence E. of Mt. Sterling, Iowa and Ray of Brule, Neb. There are also four brothers and one sister, Will, George and Hugh of Cantril, Ed of Milton and Addie Silvers of Cantril.

These, with a large company of other relatives and friends remain to mourn their loss.

The funeral was held from the M. E. church in Milton on Friday, December 28, conducted by the pastor, Rev. H. F. Gilbert, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Milton Sunnyside cemetery.
