They are Mrs. Dan STOUT of this city, Willard BOYD of Kansas City, Ernest BOYD of Lake City, Minn., and Mrs. Will PREWITT and Mrs. Russell MORRIS of Los Angeles, California.
The remains were accompanied to this city by Mr. and Mrs. Russell MORRIS, Mr. BOYD, the husband, being ill and unable to stand the trip. Many beautiful floral emblems and bouquets were sent with the sympathies of friends to the saddened home this morning and placed upon the casket by loving hands. The body was taken to the Brooks cemetery near Brookville and laid to rest.
She died in California. She was returned to Jefferson county for burial in Brooks cemetery, which led to the incorrect assumption by some family researchers that she actually died in Jefferson county, Iowa.
