PROPST, MARY J. – At her home in this city at 5:40 a. m. Saturday, September 12, 1903, Mary J., wife of Dr. M. Propst, aged 47 years, 2 months and 13 days. Mary J. King was born at Plattville, Ia., June 30, 1856. She was married there to Dr. M. Propst October 8, 1871. They came to their present home in Geneva in the fall of 1886 and this has continued to be their home.
Mrs. Propst was a member of the Methodist church and was earnest and active in the charitable and other church work that fell to her lot. She had a warm place in the affections of many people and her death is sincerely mourned. Mrs. Propst had been ill for six or eight months and a part of that time suffered greatly, but she bore her suffering patiently.
There survive the deceased, her husband and three sons, Dr. W. E., Carl and Clyde. The funeral took place from the Methodist church at 3 p. m. Sunday and was conducted by Rev. E. M. Evans. The casket was open at the residence from noon until 2 p. m. and was not opened at the church. In spite of the threatening weather the large church was filled with those who had come to pay the last tribute to this friend and neighbor. The interment was in the Geneva cemetery. Members of the family desire The Signal to express their deep appreciation of the many acts of kindness and sympathy performed by friends during the past months.
