PASSING OF A PIONEER WOMAN
Mrs. Leander Randolph of Tama, Dies in Cedar Rapids.
Tama Herald: “After some five years of ill health and an illness that confined her to her bed and during the greater part of the time necessitated her being in a hospital for about a year, Mrs. Leander Randolph died at Mercy hospital in Cedar Rapids last Saturday. While it had long been realized that her health could not be restored and that there could be but one termination of her ailment, still the news of her death came as a sad shock to the people of the community who had known her so intimately for so many years. The members of her family were with her when she passed away as they had been almost constant in their attendance throughout her long illness.
The remains were brought to Tama Saturday night and funeral services were held from the late residence Tuesday afternoon at 4 o’clock. There was an exceedingly large attendance of relatives, neighbors and friends and flowers filled the end of the room where the casket stood there being beautiful emblems from the P. E. O. and the Eastern Star and other set pieces, and also many sprays of beautiful flowers. Members of the Eastern Star, the P. E. O., the Woman’s Foreign Missionary society of the Methodist church and of the Temple Guild were present in large numbers some of them proceeding to the home in a body. The services were conducted by Dr. Frank P. Shaffer, pastor of the Tama Methodist church, who paid a tender tribute to the wife and mother who had laid down the burden of her life. He was assisted by Dr. A. T. Bishop, a former Tama pastor, now pastor of the Methodist church at Clarinda, who offered the prayer and gave a brief and sympathetic address. Music was furnished by Mrs. Frank E. Fowler and Mrs. C. J. Wonser, who sang ‘My Task,’ and ‘Beautiful Home,’ to the piano accompaniment of Mrs. Carl S. Brice and the violin accompaniment of Mrs. Albert E. Jackson. The pall bearers were George and Will Walz, H. C. CouIson, C. H. Tanner, H. L. McRoberts and J. G. Ennis. Interment was in Oak Hill cemetery, where full ritual of Eastern Star was read by the Tama chapter after which the body was laid to rest.
Mrs. Randolph’s maiden name was Rebecca Barlow and she was the youngest daughter of Thomas and Rebecca Story Barlow, pioneer residents of Tama county. She was united in marriage to Leander Randolph on October 26, 1882, and they were given seven children, two of whom passed away in infancy. Those who with Mr. Randolph mourn the loss of wife and mother are Mrs. Elizabeth Gould, Eagle Grove: Mrs. Florence Bishop, Tama, Mrs. Gail Carris, Boone, Miss Anita Randolph, Tama and Leon B. Randolph, Marengo. She is also survived by six grandchildren, one brother, George Barlow, of Upland, Cal., and one sister, Mrs. Starns of Tama.
