The death of Mrs. Laura Hall Devine, of Albion, whose serious illness was mentioned in these columns, occurred Saturday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E.A. Boggs, at Waterloo.
Mrs. Devine's death was the result of her motherly care and self sacrifice in looking after the wants of her daughter and little grandson, Llewellyn Boggs, in what was at first thought to be a case of tonsillitis. After nursing them back to safety, Mrs. Devine was taken sick and her illness developed into the most malignant type of diphtheria, making it apparent almost from the first that recovery would be impossible.
Mrs. Devine was born Feb. 13, 1835, in Windsor, N.Y., and came to Iowa in 1860, being married five years later to Capt. John Devine, of Union. She was the mother of three children, Mrs. Boggs, Mrs. J.E. Crouse, of Albion, and Mr. Edward Devine, New York. In addition she was a loving mother to the eight children of her husband by a former wife, among whom were Dr. W.S. Devine of this city; John Devine, now of Chicago; Frank S. and Randolph A. Devine of Bijou Mills, S.D.; Elwyn Devine of Nebraska; and Mrs. Florence Rockton, also of Nebraska. A sister also survives the deceased in the person of Mrs. Amanda Eastman, relict of Ex-Governor Enoch Eastman, of Iowa.
Mrs. Devine was from girlhood an earnest member of the Methodist church. The remains were brought to this city Sunday afternoon and by special permit were taken north on freight No. 91 to Union where they were buried beside her husband. Owing to the nature of her disease no funeral services were possible.
Dr. W.S. Devine and Mrs. E.T. Devine, were in Union for the burial.
