Mrs. L.W. POWERS, a resident of Milford, answered the final summons and
passed to her reward early Monday morning, Oct. 1, 1923. She was tenderly
cared for during her lingering illness of many weeks, which she endured as
one possessing the religious faith in her Lord and Creator.
Mary Louise Shepard was born at Reedsburg, Wis., Sept. 1, 1857. She came to
O'Brien county, Iowa, at the age of 16 years. She was united in marriage
with Lindel (sic) Washington POWERS December 25, 1882, and they lived in
O'Brien county until about nine years ago when they came to Milford, where
they have since made their home.
Mr. and Mrs. POWERS became the parents of four children, Mrs. Hie GERDES of
Brewster, Minn., Mrs. Frank WILSON and Mrs. John MARCHAND of Milford and
Earl POWERS of Sheldon, Ia. Besides her children and her husband she is
survived by two sisters, Mrs. F.F. FARNSWORTH of Los Angeles, Cal., Mrs. Eva
FISHER of Florence, Colo., and a brother William SHEPARD of Beloit, Kan.
Mrs. POWERS was one who was devoted to her home and family and was always
thoughtful of others, and willingly gave her service in times of sickness
and suffering. She was a member of the Methodist church but since coming to
Milford has attended the Congregational church. The funeral was held from
the Congregational church Wednesday afternoon and was conducted by Rev. W.
H. KENT. Interment was made at the Milford cemetery.
Their many friends extend sympathy to the husband and other relatives during
this sad hour of grief for their loved one.
