She leaves a little son 5 years old, a daughter 7 years of age, 4 step children, an aged father and mother, 2 sisters, 3 brothers and a wide circle of friends to mourn her loss. She was a most affectionate mother and cheerful and friendly towards all, endearing herself by her amiability and gentleness to all her family and friends. The funeral services took place from the residence Monday, Rev. A. E. Griffith, pastor of the Methodist church, Shenandoah, officiating. Her remains were laid to rest in the Chambers cemetery. "By and by we will meet each other As we never knew before When the morn of life is breaking When the shadows flee away. "For we know she has crossed the river Entered in the golden gate-- Hear the strains of angel music Softly falling on the ear. "When the misty veil that hides us From our dear one gone before Shall be drawn aside forever And shall meet her face to face. "For all her cares and sorrows From the heart have rolled away And her soul has risen in triumph And the veil has rent in twain. "When the grim death crossed our threshold And our dear one passed away And our hearts are torn with anguish At the thought we must part Heavenly voices whisper softly She has gone home to rest." N.B.: The Chambers Cemetery is the one for the Singleton Grove community in northeastern Prairie township, Fremont county, Iowa.--W.F.
