county, Ohio, and died at her home in
Leon Iowa, on the 9th of March, 1904,
being at the time of her death 81 years,

ington, March %, 1908, both of whom
were daughters Of Solomon and Cath
arine Penniwell, who died in Leon
several years ago. She lived with her
parents in the neighborhood in which
she was born from infancy until past 13
years of age, when in the fall of 1855
she removed with her parents to Deca-
tur county, Iowa, where she has lived
with the exception of two years spent
in Des Moines, ever since.
She was united in marriage to Samuel

Sister Lorey has always been quiet
peaceable neighbor, never making any
claim to extra goodness, but always
ready to take the Golden Rule" as her
guide. She was converted many years
ago and has lived consistent Christian
life through many trials and disappoint-
ments. She has ever been a pleasant
companion for her husband and kind
and indulgent mother to her children
