Mrs. Elsie Catherine Kohlman.

Elsie Catherine Smell was born in
Clearmont county, Ohio, Jan. 80, 1913,
died at the home of her son, A. Ausman,
in Leon, Iowa, Feb. 25tb, 1908, aged 81
years and 25 days.
The deceased was married to Abra-
ham Ausman in Ohio, June 20, 184I. To
this union were born nine children, six
of whom are living, w. II. Ausman, Of
Quinimo, Kas.; u. T. Ausman and Mrs.
Il. Phillips, of Neponset, ILL.,; Mrs. Frank
Mccullough, of Cedar Forks, S. D.; G.
w. Ausman, of Mineral, Kas., and A.
AusmaD, OF Leon. She is also survived
by n grand children, 33 great grand
children, and great great grand child
rem, her death breaking the chain of five
living generations. They moved west
to Stark county, ILL.,, in 1851, and to
Leon in 1869, where her husband died
Sept. %, 1876. She was again married
July 10, 1888, to Charles Kohlman, who
died Dec. IA, 1890.
For forty years she was resident of
Leon and vicinity, and those of her old
friends who knew her have but words
of praise for her Christian character
She united with the U. B. church in
1S42 and with the M. E. church in 1870
and had remained faithful and consis-
tent member. During the later years of
her life she had made her home with
her son, Mr.. A. Ausman, in Leon, devot-
ing herself to the care of his home and
motherless children. In spite of her
great age, she was active and efficient
in attending to the household duties.
Last summer she visited her son and
daughter at Neponset, ILL.,, being able to
travel alone. During the past winter
her health had been good, bnt just one
week before her death she was taken
sick and rapidly declined until she fell
asleep. To her God had fulfilled his
wondrous promise, "With long life will
satisfy him and show him my saliva
tion.' Many old friends and neighbors
of this good woman mourn her depar-
tnre, yet those who were acquainted
with her earnest christian life felt that
it was but the summons home.
Funeral services were held from the
M. e. church Saturday afternoon, con-
Quoted by the pastor, Rev. J. L. Boyd,
interment being in the Leon cemetery.

Marilla Catherine 6ammill.

Daughter of Robert and Emma Grant
ham was born Oct. 18th, 1861, at Silver
Bend, Davis county, Mo-, and died at her
home in Morgan township, Decatur
county, Iowa, Feb. 18th, 1909, age AZ
years months and days. She was
united in marriage to Frank Gammill
March, 9th, 1879. To this union were.
born ten children those living arc Milo
of El Paso, Texas, Mrs. Wort Evans, of
Edna, Kas., Mrs. Lawrence Poland, Mrs.
Clyde Petty, Mrs. Cliff Mills, Roy,
friedrich, Glenn, Cecile and Robert
Orton, who died in infancy. Mrs. Gam
mill had been ailing with stomach
trouble for some time but was not
thought dangerous; she was taken sud
denly i'll Tuesday morning and di d
Wednesday night. 1t was great shuck
tsI the community when the word came
over the phone that she could not live.
Her husband and all of her children
were at her bedside at the time of her
officer IN the Z. S. Army and as his bust
ness calls him to different places he
could not be located.
Everything was done that loving
hearts and willing hands could do, but
without avail. The grim monster of
death had marked her as his own and
she had to go. Marilla as she was
called by everyone had spent all her life
since marriage in this vicinity except
one year which was spent in travelling
through the southern states. She united
with the Methodist church at an early
age and was firm believer. She was
a true friend kind and sympathetic
neighbor who was always ready in time
of need to lend helping hand, noble
woman; to know her was to love her, she
always had smile and a good word for
everyone. She will be sadly missed in
her home as her life was devoted to her
home and family, doing all in her power
to make them happy. She was lover
of the beautiful and good. Once when
she was visiting the writer's home we
were out gathering roses when she
made the the remark that the beautiful
flowers We're one Of Gods greatest gifts
and that when it came time for her to
die that she hoped it would be in the
summer so that she could be buried in
a bed of roses. Although that wish
could not be fulfilled there were many
beautiful floral offerings of cut flowers.
Besides her immediate family she leaves
her mother, Mrs. Emma Grantham
Conner aud one brother Carey Grantham,
who resides at lndekoma, Okla, and a
host of friends. 1t was the largest
funeral ever witnessed in the country.
She was laid to rest at the Union ceme-
try Feb. goth. N. a. D.
