Callie Letchford Passes

Mrs. Callie Letchford, a daughter of Benjamin and Mary Jane Baily, was born June 22, 1862, at Waukon. In 1884 she was married to George Letchford and their home was on a farm near Frankville. In the early 90's [1890's] they moved to Estherville, where he operated a grocery store. Since her husband's death, May 20, 1930, she has lived much of the time with her niece, Mrs. Edna Bollman, in whose home she died February 1, after a long illness. She was a member of the Methodist church, the D. A. R., and the Eastern Star. In these organizations she took an active part so long as her health permitted.

Being the last of her family, the nearest of kin to survive her are one niece, Mrs. Edna Bollman, and one nephew, Carl Letchford. Other relatives and many friends join in paying tribute to her memory.

Submitter notes: See the obit for Mrs. Landon (Rilla Bailey) Letchford for mother's maiden name and other spelling of Baily and other family information.
