Mrs. Mccormick was a daugh
ter of John j. Gordon, OF Ayr
township, aud grew to woman
hood IN this county, attending a
common school in her neighbor'
hood, and later, at the summer
normal schools in McConnells-

um at Mont Alto; but the worry
incident to being separated from
her children led the physicians at
the Sanltarium to advise that she
return to Path Valley, dispose of
her property, take her family,
and go to Colorado-that the cll-
mate there would do her more
good than medicine, here. This,
she did, some four or five years
ago, and was greatly benefited
for a time; but being of a natur.
ally trail constitution, she did not
possess the vitality necessary to
hold out to a perfect cure.
She is survived by her six chll
dren, namely, Ethel, Frank, Fred,
Marguerite Glenn, and Lucy, the
eldest of whom is fifteen years oil
age. A newspaper published IN
Montrose, says:
"The deceased was a very Iowa
BILE character and her entire life
since the death of her husband
has been devoted to the mainten.

ways endeavored to train them in
the right path and has met all
difficulties with a Christian fortl

disease had fastened it's clutches
upon her and she felt her strength
ebblng from her, her patience
and fortitude was wonderful.
