OBITUARY.
The Spencer iowa Herald of Feb
ruary IA contains the following obit-
uary which will be read with interest
and sorrow by her friends here: "It
is with deepest regret that we are
called upon to chronicle the death of
Mrs. Esther l.. Thompson, which oc-
CURED at her home in this city, Thurs
day evening at about 10 O'Clock.
Esther l.. Forbes was born in Lake
county, Indiana, November 4, 1910,
and was SO years, 3 months and days
of age at the time of her death. Her
early childhood was passed in Illi-
nois, but later she moved with her
parents to Marshall county where she
lived until the time of her marriage,
which occurred at Marshalltown in
1855. She removed to Clay county
about fifteen years ago and the great
er part of her life since has been
passed in Spencer where she had
large circle of devoted friends. Her
IuC SEChcu ~
serious as to warrant the immediate
presence of her children who were in
constant attendance during her last
illness. They are Mrs. jeanette T.
Watkins, of Oskaloosa, Ia, Mrs. Char
lotte T. Clement, Everly, Ia, Misses
Cora and Lulu Thompson, and Perry
Thompson, who was attending school
at Oskaloosa. Mrs. Thompson's was
a beautiful character, of high ideals
and unwavering in what she consid-
cred right. An ideal mother, clinging
to life through the most intense suf-
fering, desiring 10 live for her chill
dren, who were always her first
thought, but yielding gracefully to the
inevitable when it became apparent
that she must leave them. The fu-
neral services were held at the home
on Sunday at p. m. Beautiful floral
tributes attested the love and sympa-
thy of kind friends. Interment took
place at Riverside cemetery"
