and other children to the better land.
Mrs. Bethany came to this state in 1916,
and in the year 1855 located in Decatur
county, which has been her place of
residence constantly until her death.
In early life the deceased was member
of the Methodist Protestant church,
since coming to Iowa she has never
united with any church, but her
sympathy for the church and her love
for her master has never wanted. 1t
was a matter Of JOY to her to hear the
word of God preached and to sing the
songs Of Zion. Her death has removed
from the community, good neighbor,
and caused the children to be bereft of
a loving mother. Funeral services were
conducted at the late residence by Rev.

sincere in his work. April 9th of last
year he moved to Mr.. and Mrs. Al.

kind, gentle and loving to the parents

only shared their home with him, but
tenderly and lovingly encircled him
with parental love- cheer and advice,
not for honor and glory, but because
they loved him. Jesus says: "Inasmuch

and the Christian Endeavor society
mourn the loss of one they dearly loved.

ed Sunday from spending week at the
great exposition at st. Louis, and ex-
poets to give REPORTER readers full
account of the trip in next weeks paper.

are bowling about exists, and found
that a person could attend the fair and
get good accommodations at very
reasonable rates.
