Decatur County Journal

May 25, l899

ANNA F. FOX was born in Appanoose County, Iowa, September 6, l857, and

died at her home in Lincoln, Nebraska, April 28, l899, after an illness

of several days.

Deceased, in company with her parents, came to Nebraska in l88l, coming

direct to Gage County, where she resided with her parents until January

2l, l890, when she was united in marriage to GEORGE W. HARPSTER. Since

that time MR. and MRS. HARPSTER have made their home in Wymore until a

few weeks ago, when they removed to Lincoln, where they resided at the

time of her death.

The remains were brought to Blue Springs for interment, the funeral

services being conducted at the Evangelical Church in that city last

Sunday afternoon, after which a large and sorrowing concourse of friends

and relatives followed the remains to her last resting place. MRS.

HARPSTER was a member of the Eastern Star, the L.A. to O.R.C. and to the

Tribe of Ben Hur, and the floral offerings from these and other orders

were among the most beautiful that ever covered a casket, and spoke

louder than words of the love and esteem her friends bore for her.

Kind and generous to a fault, she made hosts of friends for herself in

whose memory her kind acts and loving disposition will ever remain. She

leaves a husband, mother and four brothers, besides her countless

friends to mourn her untimely death. In this, their hour of utmost

sorrow, the husband and relatives have the sympathy of the entire

community. In the death of MRS. HARPSTER, the husband loses a true and

dutiful wife, the family a loving daughter and sister and the different

orders to which she belonged, a member who was always found ready to do

more than her share in anything that pertained to duty. Her death will

long be mourned by the entire community.

Those from a distance who attended the funeral were MISS STELLA SIMMS of

Leon, a cousin, and MRS. SIZZIE BATES of Coon Raids, Iowa, an aunt of

the deceased.

--Wymore (Neb.) WYMOREAN.
