ANNA LEA PosTLE.
Anna Lea Postle was born in Well
ineton, Shropshire England, June End,
1888. When only six years of age she
came to America with her parents, set
Ting in Albany, New York. After
spending some time there, they were
seized with the desire to see this great
middle west, SO they started on their
westward journey, arriving after days
and weeks of travel at Waukesha,
Wis. No doubt this meant for these
early pioneers long and tedious jour
ney, but they were endowed with that
strong and sturdy English blood,
which has been noted for its endur-
ance and chivalrous qualities.
On March 6, 1856, the deceased was
united in marriage to Lyman Postle.
Five years later, in 1861, Mr.. and Mrs.
Postle came across the fathers of wa
tiers into MINI. They were pleased
with their finding and took up their
abode in Fillmore county, where they
continued to live Until about the year
1895, when death slipped in and took
from Mrs. Postle the husband. From
4 that time forward Mrs. Postle contin-
ued to remain in her old home until be.
cause of the burden of age the last few
years have been spent in the homes OF
her children. Mr.. and Mrs. Postle be.
came the parents of eight children, all
of whom are living except John, the
Youngest son, who was killed in rail.
