Obituary—Mrs. C. C. Miller
Mary Estella Snider, daughter of Milton and Jane [Smith] [Snider, was born December 1, 1866, in Xenia, O., and departed this life January 1, 1933.
When a very young girl, Mrs. Miller moved with her parents from Peoria, Illinois, to Shannon City, Iowa, where she grew to womanhood.
On November 11, 1890, she was united in marriage to C. [alvin] C. [halmers] Miller and they came to Taylor County and started farming near Clearfield, Iowa. Later, when their health began to fail them, they moved to Clearfield, Iowa, where they made their home until September 1931, when they, due to failing health, moved to Bedford and have made their home with their daughter, where they have resided at the time of her death.
She became a member of the United Presbyterian Church early in life and has given her time and strength unsparingly for her church.
Besides her devoted husband, her daughter, Mrs. Nelle Weeda and two grandsons, Miller and Donald Weeda; she leaves to mourn her going an aged mother, Mrs. Maggie [Wycoff] Snider of Gooding, Idaho; four sisters and three brothers, Mrs. Dan Frederick [Theodosia] of Shannon City, Mrs. Ella Blakeley of Clovis, Calif., Mrs. D. W. Alexander and Mrs. Arthur Madden of Gooding, Idaho; Samuel Snider of Canyon, Texas, Robert Snider of Shannon City and Frank Snider of St. Louis,
Mo.
Mrs. Miller was a wonderful mother and homemaker, and until a short week before her going she was busily looking after the interests of others in the home.
Seemingly untiring in her efforts of love, she did much to make life easier and happier, both in her own home and in the community in which she lived.
She will be sadly missed by her many friends as well as by those of her own home.
Funeral services were held at the United Presbyterian church in Clearfield Tuesday, and burial was made, in the Clearfield cemetery.
Rev. C. F. McMican preached the funeral services.

Jeremiah Hipsley
Jeremiah Hipsley, son of Joseph [Goodman] and Thirza [Brown] Hipsley, was born in Knox county, O., Jan. 9, 1848, and departed from this life in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Hipsley in New Market, Iowa, December 27, 1932, at the age of 84 years, 11 months and 18 days.
He moved with his parents to Schuyler County, Ill., in the year 1849, where he grew to manhood. In 1867 he joined the regular army, serving as a soldier for three years. Upon being discharged from this service, he returned to his parents who had removed to Wayne County, Iowa.
In 1873 the family again removed to Page County, Iowa, where he continued to reside until 1900 when he moved to Taylor County, Iowa, where he lived until his death.
He was preceded in death by his father, mother and three brothers, Levi, Asa, and William, leaving one brother, Jacob, of New Market.
Three nephews, Frank of San Francisco, Calif., Charles of Coin, and Earl of New Market, Iowa, also five grand nieces, Mable Walton of Omaha, Opal Roll of Coin, Lucille Preo of Clarinda, Gartha Grace of Coin and Verna Grace Hipsley of New Market besides a host of warm friends mourn his departure.
He was an active member of the local Rebekah, Odd Fellows and Masonic lodges whose fellowship he enjoyed and whose influence he sought to extend.
Mr. Hipsley became a member of the Church of Christ of New Market by confession and baptism Feb. 9, 1921. He gave himself earnestly to the service of the Master. He was a man of more than ordinary ability and took an active part in the church work to which he remained faithful to the end.
Uncle Jerry, as he was known to his many friends, was a man of sterling integrity, a friend to every man, charitable kind and thoughtful for the welfare of the distressed and needy. Let us draw around his errors, whatever they may have been, the broad mantle of Christian charity and remember only the virtues the noble life he lived in the service of humanity. And so may the sable curtain close around him and let him sleep quietly until the Great Master Builder shall awaken him to the glad morning of the resurrection.
The funeral services were held from the Church of Christ in New Market Thursday, December 29th at 1:30 p. m., conducted by Rev. Hall of Clarinda and assisted by Rev. Osburn of New Market. Interment was made in the Clarinda

And though the body slumbers

The soul is safe in heaven.
