December "A, 1892 at Elizabeth, Pa.
with her parents she moved TO the
vicinity of 0skaloosa in 1851, In 1859
she was united in marriage to Thomp-
son Forscythe and to this union were
born two children, Mrs. Eva Coffin
and Miss Viola Forscythe, both of Os-
kaloosa. Mrs. Forscythe was 81 years
and six months old at the time OF her
death, which took place at her home,
1914 Ninth avenue east on Wednes.
day. June %, at 1900 a. m. Mrs. For
scythe was never robust woman, but
was possessed of great vitality. Many
times in her life has the end seemed
near, but not until age had worn the
body to great weakness was the last
call answered and an entrance made
into the celestial home above. Mrs.
FOrscythe comes of a family of great
vitality. Two brothers and two sis
ters remain with us to recall the viril-
ity of the older generation. Arch Nc
Kinley, aged 81, Mrs. Margaret Chand
lery aged 49, Miss Hannah Mckinley,
aged 81, and Dave Mckinley, aged ~.
These are the men and women OF the
generation that made Oskaloosa, and
Imade Iowa. These have themselves
been workers among those who chang
ed Iowa from untamed prairie till it
is now one of the fairest and most
fruitful places on the earth. II is
remarkable also that the homes Of all
these have been in and around Oska-
loosa all through these years. 1t is
the energies of these pioneers that
has placed Iowa among the great com
monwealths of the world. They laid
foundations OF the great civilization
(which we at present enjoy. They
built homes, schools, churches, col
leges, so that now a boy or girl has
opportunities of education and useful
mess that even the wealthy did not
possess in the early decades of the
last century. These go to their rest
having seen and helped in accom-.
plishing greater changes than any
such period in the whole history of
the age has witnessed. Well may
they rest from their labors for their
works do follow them. Mrs. For.
seythe united with the Presbyterian
church when a child and has been a
consistent member of that church alF
her life. The funeral services were
held at the home Friday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Alexander Meier
