Y, she was united in marriage to Will
liam Button. To this union three
children were born, two boys and a
girl, and the couple had another son by
adoption. The husband and all the
children with the exception of Mrs. E.
Huntington, of this city, have pre-
coded their mother to the great beyond.
The family moved to Iowa fifty-one
years ago and made their home there
until moving to Dakota several years
ago.
Twelve years ago the deceased was
married the second time to Rev. G.. S.
Goudy. a Universalist clergyman in
Minneapolis. He lived but a short
time. Since that time Mrs. Goudy has
made her home in Webster, living a
part of the time in her own home, but
was finally persuaded by her daughter,
Mrs. Huntington, to come and live
with her family where they could give
her the loving care and attention
required by,one of her years. Mrs.
Goudy was a wonderful woman in many
ways. She was a devoted and faithful
wife and mother, an abiding friend and
a true Christian in the large sense of
the word. She was seen upon our
streets during fair weather up until her
last illness and was always happily
greeted by all the old timers and, as
she retained her faculties until the
very last, she made many new acquaint-
ances who were also glad of a few
minutes conversation with one of a
bright mind and experiences covering
over three-quarters of a century. Her
many friends will be sorry that they
will see her no more but will take COM

and i'll health, made these desires
impossible of realization. The opinion
formed then of our departed friend was
that she certainly exemplifed the chris
tian life and subsequent acquaintan,e
with her but confirmed our previous
estimate. A few month ago the patient
sufferers condition be"ame serious
and she was brought by loving hands
to Webster, thinking that this might
contribute to her recovery but the sick
gradually weakened day by day until
death gave relief from her sufferings.
Mrs. Dry expressed her readiness and
willingness to depart; she called her
loved ones about her, giveng them
good counsel, consoling them as best
she could, that under the circumstances
it was better that she should be
released from physical suffering and be
at rest
Thus passed a strong heroic soul
away, on Sunday morning, May IL,
1912. at the age of thenty-six years,
seven months and twenty seven days.
The funeral services were held at the
Methodist church on the afternoon of
May IL, Parlor Crisp preaching the
sermon from Acts 7-59 and the remains
were, on Monday morning, May l3,
sent back to the old home in Wisconsin

sleeper Nottingham, of the Rock
Islands west-bound Golden State
Limited, a few minutes after mid
night this morning, at Sheffield,

ter the robbers had finished their
work they shot holes in the air sig
nal tube connecting with the en-
CINE, thus bringing the train to a
standstill, and quickly made their
escape.
Under cover of three revolvers
the porter was forced to point out
to the outlaws the berths that were
occupied. AS soon as the robbers
entered the Pullman they forced
the porter to lock the doors. Only
the occupants Of one Pullman were
disturbed,
Those who were robbed are: w.

Presence on the train of the
three robbers has not been account
ed for. II is thought perhaps the
men boarded the limited at the
crossing of the Chicago, Burlington
G. Quincy railroad, near which a
Burlington train was held up some
time ago.
After the desperadoes had taken
their loot, they commanded the
porter to pull the air tube as a sig
nal for the engineer'to stop the
train. When the porter demurred,
the men punctured the tube with
bullets. The firing of the revolvers
was the only noise connected with
