Obituary.

Last Thursday evening, at six
O'Clock, Mrs. Charles Zion, died at her
home in Audubon. Mrs. Zion, nee
Ella Moore, was born in johnson
county, Iowa, August %, 1872. She
came with her parents to this county
when she was seven years old, and
grew to noble, self-reliant womanhood
IN our midst. She worked for years on
the Republican and by her diligence
and courtesy extended an acquaintance
that is far reaching. Her life has
been one of noble sacrifice to duty and
to the help of those she loved. No
task was too irksome if it helped
friend, nor too arduous if it was for
some one else. Her death in the very
prime OF womanhood, puts the cold
mana OF grief upon an aged father and
loving brothers and sisters, and leaves
husband in that anguish of heart
that grief alone can bring. An infant
daughter is left, never to know a
mothers fond caress or watchful.
guiding love. The deceased was a
member OF the Baptist church and not
only profesed religion, but lived it,
and in her death there is only the
passing from this earth to the great
beyond, where with those gone before.
she waits until those behind, join her
there. The funeral was conducted
SATURDAY in the church she loved, the
Rev. j. +. Hinkhouse conducting the
services and then her body was born
TO maple Grove cemetery Gods Acre.
and laid to rest while the tears of sor-
row and anguish flowed from the sad
dened eyes of those who had loved
her so.
