Soon after coming to Decorah Mrs. Telford united with the Congregational Church and has ever since maintained her relationship therewith, being one of its faithful and consistent members. Of a family of six children five survive to keep in loving remembrance a kind and faithful mother. They are Miss Mary Telford, John, Wellington, Albert and Henry. Albert and Henry are living at Winnipeg. The remains were brought to Decorah Tuesday for burial and the funeral will be held this afternoon at the home of John Telford. The cause of Mrs. Telford’s death was a complication of diseases from which she has suffered for several years.
