The Silent Reaper.
On Wednesday of last week, Jan. 28, the death angel entered the home of Mr. Ephraim Mathews of Pleasant township and claimed there from the mother after an illness of but three weeks from child birth. Mrs. Mathews was born Feb. 20, 1863, in Pleasant township and her maiden name was Ida Susanna Schwalm. She was married July 19, 1885, to Ephraim Mathews and with seven children leaves a husband, stepfather, five half brothers and one half sister, beside many other relatives and friends to mourn her untimely death. She was a hard working woman and nobly helped her husband in providing for their family. Faithful, kindhearted and loving, she was a Christian wife and mother who will be greatly missed. Her remains were laid at rest in God's acre by the Canoe M E. Church on Friday last, Rev. W. V. Schlung of Decorah officiating.
