Agnes Remmers Logan. Obituary of Mrs. Logan, Whose
Remains Were Laid at Rest Friday.
Agnes Dora Remmers was born in Red Oak, Iowa, May 15, 1895. She
attended the Red Oak public schools and was graduated from the
Red Oak high school in the class of 1912. Took post-graduate work
in the high school and attended Iowa State college at Ames. At
the age of 16 she affiliated herself with the Congregational
church. She was married to James Logan, July 22, 1918. Two sons,
James Frederick and Jack Burton, blessed this union. These
survive to mourn her loss: her husband, James Logan, her two
infant sons, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Remmers,
and her brother, Fred Hunter of Grandview, Washington. As a girl
she took a great pleasure in her school work. She was very
bright, quick accurate and ever alert. Her fellow students looked
upon her as a model to follow and pattern after. Athletics held a
great attraction for her. Being a lover of the great out of doors
she was fond of all outdoor sports. Was a leader in such sports
and excelled in many of them. Never too tired to indulge. In
school activities she was recognized as one who lead and one whom
others loved to follow. She loved her college work and put
herself whole-souled into it. Was a member of Delta Delta Delta
soroity and of several honorary societies at Ames. Friends made
there meant much to her and she kept in close touch with them
until her death, sharing their joys and sorrows. Was a great
lover of music and flowers, they were ever as inspriation to her.
She was always loyal to her friends, she had no time for tale
bearing. Was ready to tell the good, but silent as to faults or
mis-steps of others. Was ever thoughtful of those about her and
considerate of their rights and
feelings. Never too much could she give or do for her friends,
and always ready to give herself to them. Her married life was a
happy one. Of a very loving and affectionate disposition she was
devoted to her husband and home. Was an excellent housekeeper.
She loved her home, was constantly planning changes which would
improve it. A real home builder, always full of ideas of
artisitic additions to her home and of what she could do to make
it a more enjoyable place in which her family could dwell. A
wonderful mother, sweet, patient and devoted, ruling by love and
smiles. Every happy and cheerful, a smile was always on her face
and a pleasant word on her lips. She loved to look on the sunny
side of life, and had no time to think of the dark side. A
cheerful giver of self and worldly goods, all she had she gladly
gave and shared with others.
