T. club and various study clubs. During the first World War she was active in Red Cross work. She was a woman who was respected and loved by not only her family, but by all who came to know her.
Her husband passed away July 1, 1943 and since that time she has continued to live in the home which has been hers for 50 years, with the exception of five months spent with her daughter.
Surviving are her two daughters mentioned before, one sister, Mrs. Martha Woodyard of Manila, Iowa, two grandchildren, Orval and Betty Dawes of Wyoming, three nieces and three nephews.
