Mrs. Margaret Ann Irwin was born in Bruce County, Canada, February 18, 1848, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. [ames [G. [ilbert] Posten [Mary Jane] in Gravity, Iowa, on March 7, 1925, aged 77 years, and 17 days. She was united in marriage toThomas Irwin, November 19, 1864 and to this union were born ten children, three of whom preceded her in death. Her husband passed out of this life April 10, 1912.
She leaves to mourn their loss, seven children: Mrs. W. [infield] R. [iley] Richardson [Susan Emily], Mrs. J. [ames [G. [ilbert] Posten [Mary Jane], Mrs. E. [ugene] J. [oseph] Posten [Ida], and Will Irwin of Gravity; George [Thomas] Irwin and Jim [James Howard] Irwin of Bedford; Rob Irwin of Akron, Colorado; 24 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, also one brother, Noble Hargin of Conway, Iowa, one sister, Mrs. Eliza Stewart of Bedford, together with a host of friends and neighbors.
She united with the Fairview Christian church a number of years ago, and later, moving to Gravity, she placed her membership with the Church of Christ here, where she has been a loyal, consecrated follower of her Master. Her faithful Christian spirit has been an inspiration to many.
She was a member of Rebekah Lodge, Gravity, where she was held in high regard among the fraternity.
Her children were all at her bedside during her illness and all that loving hands could do to relieve her suffering, but to no avail. She called all her children, and grandchildren and brother and sister, and their children, to her bedside, and talked to each one separately, and requested them to live such a life, that would enable them to meet her in heaven.------Gravity Independent
