Mrs. Elizabeth Cony beare, who lived
with her son, Doctor Conybeare, dur
ing his passionate here, passed away
at his home in Cedar Rapids on Mon
day morning, May 25, 1908. She was
born in England, April 4, 1929. In
1859 she was united in marriage with
Mr.. Elias Conybeare who, after FIVE
years of happy life, was suddenly
stricken down in death leaving her
with two children depending upon her
for support, which compelled her to
work from early morn till late atnight
to earn the bread for her little family.
Two years later the little daughter
died, leaving her and the boy alone.
When he was twenty he came to this
country and year later his mother,
followed, and has been a member of
his family since that time. She is sur
vived by one brother in Nova Scotia,
one in Australia. and sister in Eng
land. Mrs. Cony beare was woman
of deep piety She loved the Bible,
the house of God and his people. The
day before she died she quoted: 81
know that my Redeemer liveth and
though worms destroy this body, yet
in my flesh | shall see God. /" Mother
Cony beare left many warm friends in
Audubon who will long remember and
profit by her Cody life.

Funeral OF SOren Nelson

The funeral of Soren Nelson, the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Nelson, was
held on Thursday afternoon June H..
1908, from the home in Audubon. He
had been sick for only week or two
but his condition became so serious
that a surgical operation was left as
the only hope of saving his life. The
operation showed lesion of the intes-
tines; and the young man passed away
soon after. Soren was a sophomore in
the High School and was we'll liked by
his playmates and teachers. From
the superintendent we learn that he
was very Industrious, preferring to
study rather than enter into the games
aud sports. On Saturdays he could be
found wandering through the fields
and forests studying, trapping and
fishing. Perhaps no young man of his
age ia this neighborhood knew more
about or loved nature more than he.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Christensen, of the Danish Luther
an church.
