May 6, 1920."Percival News".--Relatives and friends were greatly grieved last Wednesday morning when the new was heard that Mrs. Wm. McBeth was found unconscious by her sons Perry and Ulysses upon arising in the morning. She had retired in her usual good health and spirits and it was indeed a great shock when she could not be aroused. Doctors from Nebraska City were immediately called but gave no hope as she had suffered a paralitic stoke caused by an internal hemorhage. Relatives were called and all watched with anxious hearts for some improvement but at 4:30 Friday afternoon the spirit left the body and went back to the God who gave it. Adaline Mosier was born at Des Moines, Iowa, December 16, 1847, and died at her home near Percival, April 30, 1920, having reached the age of 72 years. In 1865 she was united in marriage to Wm. McBeth at Des Moines. They continued to reside in Iowa until 1872 when they decided to move to Fillmore county, Nebraska, where they lived until the year 1900. At that time they came to the present home where they lived and prospered until the death of Mr. McBeth, October 22, 1915, Mrs. McBeth feeling the loss greatly of her companion. She was a lady loved by all, a kind, loving and devoted mother, always willing to help when her friends were in need and she will be greatly missed, not only by the members of the family, but by the community. She leaves five sons and six daughters, Dennis, Charles, Ulysses, and Perry of Percival, Floyd of Geneva, Nebraska and Mrs. W. Dean of Percival; Mrs. Geo. Ricketts of Geneva, Nebraska; Mrs. Jane Curtis, Mrs. Emma Smith and Mrs. Jenette Haskins of Seattle, Washington. Funeral services were held from the home Sunday at two p.m. conducted by Rev. Spears of Nebraska City and interment made in the Blanchard cemetery by the side of her husband. All sympathize with the relatives in their great loss.
