January 31, 1924. "SUSAN LOVE". -- Susan Love was born July 3, 1850 on a farm near Cable, Richland Grove township, Mercer county,Illinois, where she grew to womanhood and was married to Francis B.Gordon March 6, 1873. They resided in that same community until March 1877 when they moved to Fremont county, Iowa and settled on the farm where she resided until her death, January 27, 1924. To this union were born six children: Alice, who died in 1906. The five living are George E., Edgar, Jesse, Cora and Mable all of whom reside in this county. She is also survived by one aged sister, fifteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Her husband preceded her in death January 10, 1924. A little less than a year ago they celebrated their Golden Wedding anniversary, which was March 6, 1923. Mrs. Gordon was a dutiful wife, and a devoted mother, during her lifetime was an example of true womanhood, her life dealing being based upon the principles enumerated in the golden rule. She was held in high esteem by all who knew her. During her last hours as she aroused and saw her many friends around her, she asked God to Bless them all. Her word was considered as good as her bond. Although not a member of any church she was a believer in and exponent of practical Christianity which is the basis of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Rested at last, these tired feet now walk with ease the Golden Street beside the dear ones to her so dear gone before. The funeral services were conducted at the home, Janury 29, 1924. Interment was made in the Farragut cemetery. Her kindly words and looks of cheer Are missed by those to her so dear, By faith, dear friends look through earth's tears, To heaven's bright unending years.
