V. F. DANIEL
Mrs. Ira C Powell Dead,
Our community was suddenly
shocked and deeply grieved by
the unexpected death of Mrs. Ira
C. Powell last Friday morning.
That dreadful malady, pneu
monia, made its fatal attack and
in a few days strength and life
were gone. She was a daughter
of A. D. Butler, of Napa. Cali-
ifornia, and a granddaughter of
Ira F. M. Butler and had spent
almost her whole life in this
place. She was educated here,
being a graduate of Christian
College and also of the Normal.
After several years of successful
teaching she was married and for
fourteen years her chief service
was in making home and in be
ing a helpmeet for her husband.
From early years she was a mem
ber of the Christian church and

Joseph Radek, Sec.
found special pleasure in aiding
the needy. She also found time
for active work in the lodges and
was a prominent member of the
Ladies Club.
The services were held on Sun
day and the house was filled with
friends who came to pay their
last respects to her whom they
esteemed. Among many gifts of
beautiful flowers was a cross
from the Sunday-school of which
her husband has for many years
been superintendent
Faithful in all her duties and
resolutions, she has gone to rest
but she would have preferred to
meet all the struggles and trials
of life with those she loved. She
has left a grief stricken husband
and three children, one that will
always cherish the memory of a
ond mother, one too young to
realize the depth of his loss and
an infant that must be trusted to
the care of other hands. '
The sympathies of the entire
community and of a wide circle
of acquaintances and friends are
with the bereaved and He who
mingled with men on this earth
and knows their sorrows is also
near.
