OBITUARY.
FRANCES ELLA GRIPMAN was born in Sturgis, St. Joseph Co., Mich., Feb. 24th, 1850. In the spring of 1854, with her parents, brothers and sister, who moved to Minnesota where she resided until the year 1874, then moved to Winneshiek Co., Iowa, where, with the exception of a few months, she has since lived with her uncle, Silas Gripman, and cousins when she died July 1, 1897. In the fall of 1887 she united with the Friends church, of which she was a member at the time of her death, She leaves an aged mother, two brothers and one sister besides a number of cousins and other near relatives to mourn their loss. During her long illness which has been accompanied with great suffering she found her Savior to be an unfailing friend and could say “Thy will be done,” When near the close, during extreme suffering, she often prayed to be released, and welcomed death without a fear. Although so sadly missed her friends have the consoling thought that she has gone to rest and that their loss is her eternal gain.
