latter-day type of railroad man. There
have been great changes in the breed of
railroad men since first broke into the

In the old days everything went Any

From the Ireton Qowa) Clipper, June 20.
Mrs. VIM. n. Irwin died at her home
at a.. M, Tuesday morning from drop
sy. Had she lived until next November
she would have been 80 years old. Her
sickness has covered a period of a num-
Der of years and the last few weeks the
worst has been anticipated. Her death
came peacefully to which she fully
resigned. Hattie B. White was born at
Hanover, ILL.,. Nov. "a, 1862. She was
married at Hanover, ILL.,, to VIM. N.
Irwin, Jan. L, 1854. Removed to this
place soon after their marriage and re-
sided here two years. Removed to
Dodge City, Kansas, in 1856, remaining
there until three years ago, when they
returned here. Three children were
born to the family, Willie, May and
Charles. Willie died while they lived in
Kansas. Her husband and two children
mourn her loss. Her father, John White,
lives at Hanover, Ill. and her only broth
err, Chas. G. White, resides at San Fran
cisco. Two sisters survive, Mrs. Jen-
ME Cooper, of Hanover, ILL.,, and Mrs.
Chas. Plat. of Rochester, Mimi, the
latter having been here for the last six
weeks. The funeral will be held this
afternoon Thursday at p. m. from the
o. p. church. Rev. Tyler will preach
the sermon. The deceased had been
sick for the last four years and at times
suffered severely. She was patient
through it all and bore up bravely. She
held on to life .enaciously and did not
give up regarding her health until the
last year. The immediate cause of her
death was heart trouble. She bad been
troubled with dropsy for some months
past. Mrs. Irwin was devoted wife and
mother, kind friend and neighbor and
true christian woman. Her large circle
of friends deeply feel the loss of this
noble, truehearted woman. The husband
and family have the sympathy of all in
their sad bereavement.
