MRS. EMANUEL HALLMAN PASSED peacefully to her last rest at her late home, in Freeport, aged 74 years, 11 months and 29 days.
Harriet Kniss was born in Northumberland county, Penn., June 5th, 1821. When about ten years of age she moved with her parents to Ohio, residing there a short time, then removing to Stephenson Co., Ill. In 1844 she was married to David Wohlford, who died in 1851. To them four children were born, two of whom, Mrs. K. Tyler and Mrs. J. N. Headington, now survive her.
She was united in marriage to Mr. E. Hallman in 1858, moving to Iowa City shortly after their marriage, and has continued her residence here until her death. As the fruits of this marriage six children were given them, five of whom remain, with their father, to mourn the loss of a faithful wife and mother.
While residing in Illinois Mrs. Hallman became identified with the Lutheran church, afterward uniting with the Methodist church.
Rev. Shaffer conducted the funeral at her late residence, Sunday afternoon, which was attended by a large circle of friends and relatives.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows her maiden name as Ness. She is buried in Phelps Cemetery.
