Mrs. Kenneth M. Dodds
Eleanor Evelyn, younger daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Ward, was born Oct. 23, 1912, in Williams, Arizona, and departed this life at the Jefferson County hospital in Fairfield, Iowa on Monday afternoon, May 30th 1932, being at the time of her death 19 years, 7 months and 8 days of age.
While quite young she moved with her parents to California and there grew to young womanhood. On Feb 15, 1931, she was united in marriage to Kenneth Morrison Dodds, who remains to mourn her untimely decease. She is also survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. P.A. Ward, a twin brother, William, and older brother Adelbert, and one sister, Mrs. Mildred Senep, all living in or near Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Dodds of Bonaparte, to whom she has endeared herself as a daughter, and Kenneth's sisters Hillys and Elnore Dodds, besides many other relatives and friends, both in California and Iowa.
In June of 1931 the young couple came to Harrisburg, Iowa, and here they spent a brief but happy married life until failing health necessitated her removal to the Jefferson County hospital on May 14th. All that medical skill and loving hands could do was of no avail and the brave, hopeful Spirit was called to her Maker.

Funeral services were held on Friday afternoon at the Harrisburg church, Rev. D. D. Flanagan officiating. Internment in Vale Cemetery.
