Edna L. Boorman was the only child of Mrs. Anna Boorman, who has been a resident of Hawarden since girlhood. Edna was born in this city Sept. 3, 1898, and had therefore passed her seventeenth birthday. Her father, Fred Boorman, died when she was about seven years of age and since that time her comfort and happiness in life has been the one consuming desire and ambition of her mother. Edna's well being was her mother's hourly thought and in turn no child was ever more mindful or appreciative of the loving care bestowed upon her. Her untimely death seems doubly sad as it robs the mother of her sole ambition in her life, and leaves a future which must seem dark indeed. Edna was a member of the Senior class in high school and like her classmate, Neva, entered the public schools here as a kindergartner just a few short years ago. She was a happy child, forever rediating a spirit about her, and her passing leaves in its wake a trail of sweetnest memories. Relatives and friends who came because of her death were her cousin, Leon Foster of Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Holman, Mrs. Vesta Baker and Mrs. B.F. Durkee of Eagle Grove; Mrs. Paul Braden of Huron; and Mrs. I.A. Turner of Eldora.
