iona, where her son, George, lives
and was benefited for awhile. She
died there August 31st, with her three
children, George, Herbert and Ruth,
at her bedside. Short services were
conducted at the Parker Undertaking |
parlor at Tuscon, by Rev. Henry Van
Valkenburg and she was brought to
Clayton Sunday afternoon by her
children, Herbert and Ruth to be laid
to rest by the side of her husband,
who died from paralysis number of
years ago. She also has a daughter
inferred in the cemetery here, whose
death was caused by the after-affects
of diptheria. She was taken to the
