Alta May Brooker was born near Thompson, Iowa, November 15, 1890. In and near Thompson has been her home since then, except for a few months spent in Forest City. Here at her home in Thompson she was taken ill of pneumonia a few days since. This disease, following as it did another illness, was more than she had strength to overcome. Death came May 5, 1902, at 3 a.m. She passed quietly away without having the slightest pain, having been conscious to the last and spoke with almost her last breath. Funeral services were
held from the church of which she was a member. They were conducted by Rev. E. Hutchingson, the pastor. Burial was in the Thompson Cemetery.
