OBITUARY
WALTON.
Harriet Holland was born in Walpole, Norfolk, England, Dec. 7, 1833, and died Nov. 9, 1918.
She was married to John Walton, Sept. 5, 1851, in St. Peter’s Episcopal church in England and of which she was a member from childhood. She passed away peacefully. Her last words were “I am going to rest, will not be here long.”
Mrs. Walton was well known far and never tiring of caring for the sick and afflicted and all those less fortunate than herself. She was generous and of a very hospitable nature.
She leaves to mourn her death two sons and two daughters, James Walton, of Minneapolis, Minn., John Walton and Mrs. Nellie Hanson of Cresco, Ia., and Mrs. Lizzie Christen of Decorah, Ia., one son and one daughter and the father preceding the mother to the better land. The remaining family with Mrs. Howard{?} and family, have the sincere sympathy of a host of warm friends in this their sad bereavement. Funeral services were conducted from Grace Episcopal church, by Rev. Wm. Whittle, of Seabury School, Faribault. Interment was in Oak Lawn cemetery.
The family also thank the kind friends for the many floral offerings and assistance in time of need.

Transcriber’s Note: Her gravestone in Oak Lawn shows her birth year as 1836 which does not agree with the above. Find a Grave shows her maiden name as Howard which differs from the above.
