All the children live in the immediate vicinity except Ted, who resides near Perry, Iowa, and Mrs. Chas. Tonsfeldt at Atlantic, Iowa. The family remained unbroken until just a year ago, when little Norman, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Ficken, preceded his grandmother in death. She was a loving wife and mother finding her greatest joy and pleasure in the care of her family; always ready with a generous helping hand as long as her strength and health permitted. Her cheerful presence will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
