MOURNING DEATH
OF MRS. MA1LESS
Family and Friends OF This Venerable
Woman Feel Common Sorrow 10
Her Sudden Passing
This Morning.
WAS BORN IN ENGLAND
sh. came TO Keokuk With Her Hus-
band When Only Village Stood
Here and Has Lived
Here Ever Since.

This morning at s o'clock at her
homo OIL Franklin street, occurred
the passing of one of keokuK oiuesI
and hest known citizens, Mrs. Matiioa
Matless. For many years she mas
haen a sufferer from heart trouoie,
and only the most devoted and iov-
ing care has kept her here tnrousn
ali the years. And finally when the
end came today 1t was as the laiilhs
Of the ripened grain grown to It's per-
feet maturity.
Matilda Goebel was born IN sussex,
England. March IT, 1926. and was
married to Leonard Matless IN Br1gn-
ton England, in 1S45. They came 70
America in 1853 in sailing vessel
when a journey across the Atlantic
meant much more than 1t does IN
these DAYS of rapid transit. They
came west to st. Louis and came UP
the Mississippi by boat to Keokuk.
there being no railroads When the
boat landed at the wharf. Mr.. and
Mrs. Matless walked up to the top OF
the hill and saw the village OF Keo-
kuk on one side, built among the
trees. and on the other the wide ex-
panse Of the river and the hills on
the Illinois side and Mrs. Matless said
to her young husband, I'D like to
stay here" and so the new home was
established here.
Keokuk has been the family resi-
dence since 1858, with the exception
of a few years spent in Fl Madison.
Was Mother Of Ten.
Mrs. Matless was the mother of ten
children. six of whom have proceeded
her in death. Her husband died Aug
ust 26, 1902. She Is survived by four
children, Mr.. A. E. Matless. Miss Kate
c. Matless, Mr.. Leonard Matless and
Mrs. Mable C. knights, together with
seven grandchildren, and three great
grandchildren.
No mother was ever more honored
by her family than was Mrs Matless.s
She was gentle-woman in every
finer OF her being. Her most mildly
expressed wish was law In the fam
lily, where their greatest pleasure was
to bring happiness to her.
She was member OF the First
Westminster Presbyterian church and
woman who day by day lived the
christianity which she protested.
For many years the great day in
the Matless family calendar. was the
mothers birthday and scores Of
friends made 1t practice to call on
her on March II, which was the an
niversary date. On those occasions
her home was perfect bower of
flowers, and she sat among them gra-
cious and happy. Her life in its
sweetness and in its sincerity Of pur-
pose has not gone, but is still here
as it is reflected in the lives of her
children. who have been largely
moulded in their characters by the
mother whose memory they honor to-
day
The funeral service will be con.
