Mrs. W. W. Dustin

Beadie Adaline Baldwin was born August 27, 1964, in Van Buren county, Iowa, and died May 17, 1907, at her home near Bentonsport, Iowa, aged forty two years, eight months, and twenty days.
Her death was caused by internal hemorrhage. She appeared to be in excellent health until a few days ago when she was taken ill. Arrangements were made to take her to Keokuk for an operation but she was not strong enough to make the trip or to stand the operation and it was not attempted.

October 11, 1882, she was married to W.W. Dustin, and to them were born five children, viz., Mrs. Alta Johnson of Birmingham and Lee, Grace, Van and Hazel who are at home. All of her children were at her bedside when she died.

Eleven years ago she united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Libertyville, Iowa, and has been a faithful member of the church and a devoted Christian until the time of her death. She was a devoted wife and mother, a kind friend and neighbor.

Besides a sorrowing husband and children she leaves a father, four sisters, and three brothers and a host of friends and sympathizing neighbors.

Funeral services were held at the home Sunday morning and the remains were interred in the cemetery at Birmingham.
