Obituary:
MRS. LOIS GRACE CHESTER.
Miss Lois Grace Slawson was born September 4, 1881, in Henry county, Ill., and died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Slawson, in Bedford, on Sunday, January 31, 1909.
In 1883 Grace moved with her parents to Bedford, where she grew to young womanhood, beloved by all. In 1901 Grace united with the Baptist church, and she has since been a faithful member. In 1903 she was united in marriage to Mr. A.B. Chester, and they then moved to Kansas City. Grace was the mother of two children, Ruth and Raymond, the former dying in infancy. In 1907 she was seized with pneumonia, which later developed into tuberculosis. When these symptoms became apparent, Ashmead & Grace moved to Albuquerque, N.M., where for a time it seemed that she would be able to throw off this dread disease, but it was not to be and Grace returned to Bedford two weeks ago, to die amid the home scenes of early life.
Grace leaves a fond husband, parents and one child to mourn Her death; also two brothers and one sister.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon at the Baptist church Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. McMasters. The interment was in the Bedford cemetery.
