Iva never married and from letters I have, etc. it gives the impression she went to Oregon to visit her sister, got sick and was hoping to get well soon so she could return home in Oberlin. Her funeral was through Corcoran-Ready Funeral Home in Oberlin, Kansas and interred at 1:30pm on April 17th, 1958 in the Oberlin Cemetery, officiated by Rev. Roy Bussler a Methodist Minister.

Inscription
There is no headstone for Iva. I had been told her body was lost on its way from Oregon where she died back to Kansas to be buried with her parents. THANKS TO MORRIS PETTY JR. who shared a copy of IVAS Funeral book with me, we now know she IS in this cemetery. The proper authorities now recognize the fact that she is buried in this cemetery in the Millen plot with her parents and have made note of it.
Gravesite Details
She was my great grandmothers sister!
