For the past five years she has been in declining health a great part of which time she has been confined to her bed, although ever eager and anxious to visit with her many friends that called to see her.

She leaves to mourn her passing three brothers, J.S., of Selma, Iowa; Curtis P., of Canon City, Colorado; and Charles A., of Sarahsville, Ohio, as well as four nieces and one nephew.
