Sioux City Journal: Mrs. Anna C. Harrington, a life long resident of Woodbury County, died Sunday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Walter Stang, in Burlington, Iowa. The deceased was 61 years old and had lived 45 years in Sioux City.

Born on a farm near Moville, Mrs. Harrington, resided there until her marriage to James Harrington which occurred when she was 16 years of age. Immediately after their marriage, the couple came to Sioux City. Mr. Harrington died 15 years ago.

Two weeks ago Mrs. Harrington closed her home at 1317 Pierce Street and went to Burlington, Iowa, to visit her daughter. Shortly after her arrival there, she became critically ill. Death was caused by hardening of the arteries.

Mrs. Harrington was a member of the First Baptist Church, Sioux City, Lodge No. 6, Order of Maccabees, the Rebekah lodge, Degree of Honor, and the Yoemen.

Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Horace Weitz, of Los Angeles, Cal., and Mrs. Walter Stang; a sister, Mrs. Carry Seddon, of Duluth, Minn., and two stepchildren, Albert Harrington and Mrs. Susie Shortley, of Minneapolis, Minn.

The body will be brought to Sioux City for burial. Mrs. Horace Weitz, who attended her mother during her final illness, will accompany the body. The body will be held at Perasso Bros., undertaking parlors until Tuesday afternoon, when funeral services will be held at the First Baptist Church, Rev. Lewis Jacobsen, officiating.
