Mrs. Thos. Kenderdine Dead
Mary E. Smurthwate was born in England, May 18, 1849. When a
child she came to America with her parents who settled in Ohio,
where her father having died, Mary E. was adopted by James M.
Reeves. She married Thomas Kenderdine in March 1871, and moved at
once to their homestead in Clay county, Iowa. In the vicinity of
this hold homestead, near Dickens, they lived until the death of
her husband, September 7, 1916, when she went to live with her
son, Dr. W. H. Kenderdine, at Sutherland, where she died December
19, 1916, aged 76 years, 7 months and 19 days.
She was an acceptable member of the M. E. church of Dickens,
Iowa, and those who knew her believed that death has transferred
her membership from the church militant to the church triumphant.
Two children, T. R. Kenderdine of Canada, Dr. W. H. Kenderdine of
Sutherland, Iowa, together with four grandchildren remain to
mourn the departure of their mother and grandmother.

congratulations and wishes them happiness and success without
end. An account of their wedding is given below.

Lloyd Williams Weds
A wedding of interest to our readers occurred last week Thursday
January 4th, at Charter Oak, Iowa, when one of Peterson's young
men, Lloyd Williams, was united in marriage to Miss Elsie
Thomsen, a young lady of that place.
We have none of the particulars of the affair so will have to let
it pass with only the bare mention of the fact. Miss Thomsen is
not known to Peterson people but is said to be an exceptionally
fine young lady, blessed with grace of body and mind, and capable
to become the helpmate of the man of her choice. The groom is
known to most of our readers, having grown to manhood in
Peterson. He is an industrious young man, thoroughly capable, and
well thought of by a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
This marriage is the outcome of an acquaintance formed when Lloyd
went to Charter Oak about a year ago to work in a garage. The
young people will be at home soon to their friends at Hartley,
Ia., where Lloyd is employed in a garage as an expert machinist.

was born June 29, 1912, and died at his home east of Sutherland
Monday morning, January 15, 1917, aged 4 years, 6 months and 16

developed into pneumonia, resulting in his death. He was a bright
and happy little fellow. His death has cast a gloom, not only
over his grief-stricken parents, but also his grandparents,
uncles and aunts as well, for it is, as a fond mother has said,
it is wonderful how long a shadow a little grave can throw.

Loefelholz. Interment was made in Calvary cemetery.
