She was married to Asa Llewellyn on Sept. 4, 1851, at Springhill, Penn. Twelve children were born to his union, seven daughters and five sons. the living children are; Mrs. M. L. Wells of Center township; Mrs. P. L. Hartsough of Oelwein; B.M. of Berthold, N.D.; Mrs. A. H. Wilson of Henning, Minn.; J. C. of Randalia; W.P. of Center township; O. A. of sumner; and A. T. of Conway Springs, Kan. Four daughters---Mrs Mary Holmes, Mrs. Janie Mittlestadt, May Melvina, and Maude Alene, preceded her to the better land, as has also her husband, who died July 6, 1903. She was converted and united with the Methodist church in 1858, and remained a faithful and consistent member of the church for sixty years. She was a member of the aid society and W.C.T.U., attending the meetings and helping in the work until failing health compelled their omission. She kept up her interest in the events of the world until the very last, becoming a member of the Red Cross when the Randalia chapter was organized last summer. In 1853 she came with her family to Rossville, Allamakee county, remaining four years, then moved to Missouri. Traveling that distance in those days was slow, tiresome work, as it was done with ox teams and covered wagons. After two years spent there, they traveled the long road back to Rossville. In 1860 the family moved to Monona, where they resided until 1865, when they came to Fayette county and opened up the farm two miles southwest of Randalia. Here she remained until about four years ago, since which time she has made her home with her son J.C.. Besides her eight children, nineteen grandchildren, and nineteen great grandchildren, she leaves one sister, Mrs. Sarah Jane Brooks of Luana, and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. "Grandma" Llewellyn, as she was known throughout this vicinity, was an active energetic woman who believed, "there is a work for me and a work for you, something for each of us now to do", and was ever ready to do her share, and more if need be. She was a lover of flowers and of children. It was her delight to take the little ones by the hand and stroll with them through some flowery plot, sincerely enjoying their childish chatter. Her friends were numbered by her acquaintances. She felt a keen sense of duty to all humanity, and her love for home and her family was unbounded. funeral services were held at the Methodist church in Randalia at 11:30 a. m. Monday, Feb. 11, conducted by her former pastor, Rev. William Galbreth of St. Ansgar, Iowa, who chose his text from her favorite passage of scripture, the 23rd Psalm. Interment was made by the side of her husband in Dunham's Grove cemetery. Card of thanks To all who so kindly rendered their assistance, by word or deed, during the illness and death of our mother.

But we know that you are happier Since you answered Jesus' call. For your lifetime here among us Has been filled with toil and care And we know you'll rest in comfort With the loved ones over there.

Heap their flowers in your apron, Share with you their bits of sweet, Scores of times your love and kindness Has brought comfort to some friend When you've watched in breathless wonder Some faint heart-beat to the end. Smoothed some pillow, cheered some pathway, As life slowly ebbed away. Ah! death's night is so mysterious, So unlike life's wondrous day. But, dear Mother, you have solved it; the sting of death to you is o'er. And we know the Savior greets you On that bright celestial shore. You have reached the golden portals Entered now the pearly gate, There methinks is glad reunion Where the friends and loved ones wait.

He had just returned from town and evidently was taking the gun out of the car, in the garage. The report of the gun was heard by his wife who was in the house at the time. She went to investigate and found him dead with a bullet wound in his chest in the region of his heart. She immediately summoned some electric linemen working nearby, who in turn notified the city marshal and doctor, who went to the scene. An inquest was held Tuesday p.m. at 2 o'clock at Waukon, Iowa, under Coroner Charles Boyden, and a verdict of accidental death was returned by the members of the jury who were Thomas Waters, Elmer Olloff and Alan Crowley. Walter Krueger was born on a farm in Winnebago township, Houston county on June 30, 1888, the son of Mr. and Mrs Henry Krueger, Sr. He was educated in the rural schools of his home vicinity and as a young man became engaged in farming. On December 1, 1914, he was married to Miss Lydia King, at St.John's church, Wheatland, by Rev. K. Bizer, and to this union one daughter was born. Previous to moving to his present farm he had rented the Bridget Kelly farm on the Iowa River for 21 years. Early this year he purchased the former Frank Kelly farm, one-half mile west of town and began the building of a new house, the family moving in about two months ago. Besides his beloved wife and daughter, Evelyn, he leaves to mourn his aged mother, Mrs. Henry Krueger, Sr. of New Albin; two sisters, Mrs. Walter Fetketter of French Creek township and Mrs. Norman Lueck of Dakota, Minn..; three brothers, Alfred and Henry of this vicinity and George of near Caledonia, Minn., besides many other relatives and friends. Funeral arrangements have not been made at this time.
