They came to Nebraska in 1882 and Mr. Harwood died here in 1898. Mrs. Harwood united with the Baptist church when quite young, which faith she adhered to all her life. She was more than usually attached to her children, who loved their mother as only good children should.
Funeral services were conducted at the Congregational church Tuesday by Rev. G. W. Knapp?atter which the remains were laid to rest in the Riverton cemetery. A sister, Mrs. Margaret Shoemaker, and her son from Burr Oak Kans., and a step-son from Mankato, Kans., were present at the funeral.
The children wish through these columns to extend their thanks for the help which was so freely furnished during the short illness and during the long period during which the funeral was delayed waiting for the one son, Bert, to arrive from California."
