A Beloved Woman.

Beaver Falls, Pa, December 26, 1853.
Residing there until young girl
of twelve years, she removed with
relatives to this city, coming here
| in the year 1865. Since that time she
had made Keokuk her home and was
one of Keokuks best known citizens,
and the mother of prominent and
highly respected family
On January 81, 1874, the marriage
of Miss Anna M. Tinsman and James
F. Wycoff took place in this city. To
the union six children were born,
three of whom preceded their mother
in death.
Mrs. Wycoff was one of the fore
most workers in the church, being a
faithful and earnest members of the
First congregational church of this
city, uniting with tlat house of wor-
ship many years ago and since at
tending regularly its services. Here,
especially, as in her home, will she
be greatly missed and her place can
naver be filed.
She was also a member of Colfax
lodge No. a, Rebekahs, of this city,
and was ever working for the good
and interests of this society. Those
who survive to mourn the loss of this
beloved woman in her death. are her
husband, James f. Wycoff; daughter,
Mrs. Alice NJ. Friedholdt, of Daven-
port, Iowa; sons, John t., of Omaha
Neb. and Joseph Franklin, of this
city; daughter, Martha Janet, died
at the age of nine years, and another
child, Lavina Adeline, passed away
at the age of seven.
The family has the sympathy of all
keokuk in their loss and words of
coincidence will be received by them
from every one, in the passing of their
wife and mother and one of the citys
most estimable women.
