The living children are Fred, Charles W., Herbert, Mrs. Rose McKinney, Peter, Martin, Mrs. Elizabeth Kirby, John, Bertie, and Mrs. Dolly Sheldon. The children all reside in or near Oelwein except Fred who lives near Green Island, Iowa, Peter near Aurora, Ia., and Mrs. Dollie Sheldon of Cedar Rapids, Charles and Bertie still reside at home. She leaves twenty grand-children, also five sisters and a brother, Mrs. Jennie Wilson and Frank of Calif., Mrs. Marie Reynolds of Nebr., Mrs. Electa Adams of Iowa, Mrs. Lillie Sanders of Oelwein.
She was always an industrious, hard working woman, optimistic and cheerful disposition bringing good cheer to the discouraged. She was always generous and kind hearted, willing to do for anyone in need. She will be greatly missed by many sincere friends and by her family.
The last services were held from the Grace M. E. Church Sunday at 2:30 p. m. conducted by Rev. Clark.
