OBITUARY.
Elizabeth Stall was born in CO.
1omba county, New York, March 6,
1929. She was the oldest of six
children, three sons and three
daughters, all of whom have pre-
ceeded her to the better land.
At the age of four years she re-
moved with her parents to Sodus
in Wayne county, n. Y, where she
August IL, 1857, she was united in
marriage to Martin G. Wood. To
this union were born three daugh-
tiers. two of whom died in infancy,
the surviving daughter being Mrs.
ID. w. Smith of Frankville, with
whom she has made her home since
the death OF her husband in 1905.
In 1864 they moved to Allamakee
county Iowa, where, with the ex-
ception of an eight-years' residence
in Mississippi, they have since re-
sided Early in life she became
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church, of which she remained a
faithful and consistent member un-
til her death.
In March, 1904 she was prostrat-
ed with severe illness from which
she never fully recovered and which
has at times caused her intense suf
fering which she has born uncom-
plainingly and with sweet and gen.
tie patience until the feeble body,
worn by the ravages of disease,
could no longer withstand the APP
proach of the dread messenger, and
on Wednesday, April goth. at fifteen
minutes before midnight, her spirit
passed out to be at home with her
loved ones over there.
Thus is ended a beautiful Chris
tian life which needed no spoken
word to attest to the dwelling of the
spirit of God in her heart, but by
the fruits of the spirit love, joy,
gentleness, goodness, and faith were
ever manifest in her daily life, her
gentle and kind disposition endear-
ing her to all who knew her. She
leaves to mourn her loss one daugh-
ter, two granddaughter and two
grandsons, also a number OF neph-
ews and nieces and large circle OF
other relatives and friends.
The funeral was held Saturday at
Waukon in the M. e. church OF
which she had been member 1or
many years. The pastor, Rev. T. H.
Temple, paid a tender and touching
tribute to her memory. The re-
mains were laid to rest beside her
husband in Oakland cemetery.
The family wish to express their
heartfelt gratitude to the friends
who so kindly assisted them during
the sickness and in the death ana
burial of their loved one, for the
beautiful flowers which loving hands
placed upon her coffin and for the
sweet sympathy, which was balm
