March 30, l899

MATTIE MCINTOSH was born August l5, l873, in Mercer County, Mo., and

died at the parental home in Davis City, Iowa, March 27, l899, at 7:30

p.m. aged 25 years, 8 months, l2 days.

Her sickness was of short duration, there having been no indication of

any serious illness until Wednesday, March 29. The greater part of her

life has been spent in this county, she with her parents, having moved

from Mercer County, Mo., in l882 to this county, where she has ever

since resided and by her cheerful disposition and consistent life has

gained the respect and affection of a large circle of friends. Sister

MATTIE was a very useful member of the Epworth League and was faithful

in attendance upon all its services and in the discharge of all duties

imposed upon her. She was converted in the meeting held by the M.E.

Church one year ago and was a probationer in good standing in the

church, ever ready to take a stand upon the Lord's side. In her decease

the Church and League recognize the loss of a consistent and faithful

member, while the family mourn the loss of a loving child and sister.

The father, mother, five sisters and two brothers survive her.

Funeral services were conducted at the Union Church, Tuesday, March 28,

and the remains laid to rest in the Davis City Cemetery. A beautiful

floral tribute in the form of a Maltese Cross, which is the emblem of

the Epworth League, was furnished by the League, showing the high esteem

in which the deceased was held.
