(about) August 20, 1901
Mrs. M.S. Vanduson, the venerable mother of Mrs. A.H. Johnson,
died in this city last Tuesday [20 Aug 1901] of Paralysis. She
was in her 67th year at the time of her death. The deceased was
opening a large gate on the Johnson farm near Iowa Park some six
months ago, and the wind blew it violently against her arm,
hurting it very badly. This hurt grew worse and the limb finally
became paralyzed. The paralysis gradually extended over her left
side, at last causing her death. The funeral took place from the
Christian
Church yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. E.S. Bledsoe
preaching the funeral sermon. The remains were interred in the
city cemetery and were followed to their final resting place by
many sorrowing and sympathizing friends. The deceased leaves a
husband and six children to mourn her loss. Of the latter, one of
these, Mrs. Johnson, lives here, one in South Dakota, two in Iowa
and two in Illinois. Mrs. Vanduson was a good woman. She was a
true and loving wife, a devoted mother and a staunch and loyal
friend and
neighbor. Years ago she made a profession of the Christian
religion and united with the Christian church. She died in the
faith she had espoused while living and has gone home to her
reward. The HERALD extends to the bereaved husband and children
the sympathy of our people in their sad time.
[transcribers note: At the time of her death Eliza Nears
Van Dusen was visiting her daughter Luthera Van Dusen
Johnson in Texas. Eliza's home for many years was Aureola
(Marble Rock) in Floyd Co. Iowa.
