OBITUARY - DEBORAH (WILEY) DICKEY

Died, in Mt. Ayr, August 11, about 3 o'clock a.m., Mrs. Deborah DICKEY. Funeral exercises were held at the home at 6 o'clock p.m., by Rev. E. P. WOOD. Thus within a few days has the mother followed her child. Mrs. DICKEY's maiden name was Deborah WILEY. She was born in Wabash county, Ind., May 29, 1839. She was married in Warren county, Ill., in 1876. She united with the Presbyterian church in 1878, near Goshen, Iowa. Upon her removal to Mt. Ayr, she united with the Presbyterian church here. Four of her eight children survive her. The affliction of this family has been deeply felt in the town.
