Obituary of Mrs T H Denning

Mrs Thomas Denning, who has been in feeble health for a long time, passed away at the family home in South Eddyville at two o'clock Sunday afternoon, September 3rd, 1916, aged fifty-eight years and two months.

Eunice Florence Eugenia Moak, daughter of Phillip and Susan Moak was born July 3rd, 1858, on a farm five miles west of Eddyville in West Des Moines township, Mahaska county.

She was married to T H Denning on March 1, 1876, the ceremony being performed by the late Thomas Lee, who at that time was justice of the peace.

They resided in West Des Moines township till March, 1895, when they removed to town and have since resided here.

To Mr and Mrs Denning were born three daughters, who, together with the bereaved husband, two brothers, one sister and four grandchildren, are left to mourn her loss. The daughters are: Maude, wife of H D Codding, of Buxton; Miss Pearl, who is still at home, and Mary, wife of Earl True, of Ottumwa. The brothers and sister are Oliver C Moak of Washington state, Wilmer Moak of Salem, Oregon, and Mrs W A McGee of LaPlata, Missouri.

Mrs Denning had been in delicate health for years. Five years ago, in May, 1911, she sustained a stroke of paralysis, and had been very poorly since, although able to be taken out in her wheel chair at times.

Following another stroke of paralysis on Tuesday night of last week, she had not regained consciousness and her death had been expected for several days. During her years of illness she had been tenderly cared for by her daughter Miss Pearl, assisted at different times by other members of the family.

Mrs Denning had a love of home and was very devoted to her family, a good wife, mother, sister and neighbor and, although she was a member of no church, she delighted in doing acts of kindness, and was a believer in the church and in Christianity.

The funeral was held from the home at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Appropriate funeral services were conducted by Rev S K Coats, the Christian pastor, after which the remains were laid to rest in Highland cemetery.

Card of thanks

We wish, through the columns of the Tribune, to thank the kind friends who assisted during the last illness and death of our wife and mother. We also offer our heartfelt thanks for the beautiful floral offerings, and especially would we thank the Ottumwa Aerie of Eagles for the floral piece, which came as a surprise.
