Anderson, Irma Bell -

Irma Anderson, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Bell, of Alburnett was born Aug. 5, 1883, and departed this life, Jan. 31, 1914, aged 30 years, 5 mouths and 26 days. While yet a little girl, perhaps ten or twelve years of age

her life was surrendered to the Master, This was during a revival meeting held by C. W. McClure. She united with the U. B. church at Alburnett, which she

served faithfully as health and strength would permit; holding the position of church organist at the time of her death.

She was united in marriage to Mr. E. C. Anderson, Feb. 10, 1904.  Surviving her are a loving and devoted husband; two little daughters, Bernice and Bernita, aged 8 and 3 respectively, a loving father, mother, brother, a number of relatives and a host of friends.

Irma had been a sufferer for a number of years, but was always cheerful and did not complain of her misfortune. During the last year she had been uncommonly well. Her last sickness lasted only a day or two and the end came very unexpectedly, even while she was sleeping. Death was due to heart failure, consequently a complete surprise. In her death we lose a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.

The funeral services were held Monday, February 2, at 11 o'clock, in the U. B. church at Alice The floral offerings were beautiful and abundant. With these beautiful flowers as her companions, the body was laid to rest in the sun kissed cemetery at Alice. The services were in charge of her pastor, E R. McClelland, Alburnett—Cedar Rapids Republican

Brown, Louise Rose Lehman “Lou” –

Louise Rose Lehman was born in Galesburg, Ill., August 13, 1849. At the age of one year she was bereft of her mother and until she was nine years of age her father was her constant companion. At this time he succumbed to a long

illness that extended over a period of 2 years. After the father's death she made her home with her oldest sister, Mrs. Clara E. Hill now of Berkeley, Cal., until she was 24 years of age. She taught school in Paxton, Ill., and was

superintendent of schools in Plano, Ill. for 2 years, spending six years in the schoolroom, where in addition to her other duties, she taught vocal and instrumental music.

On Jan. 1, 1874, she was married to Dr. Millard F. Brown. The first 8 years of her married life was spent in and about Alexis, Ill. In June, 1882 they moved to Iowa and located at Lenox, which has been her home from that time. To this

union were born six children, three of whom are living, the husband and 3 children having gone on before. Mrs. Brown survived the Doctor just 3 years, lacking four days.

Lou R. Brown was a woman of more than ordinary ability and her varied talents and keen intellect gained her many responsible positions in church, society and club life in her town, county and state.  She became a member of the Christian Church in the spring of 1893 and during the 21 years she has

been a member of that body her influence has been widely evidenced. She was especially interested in the C. W. B. M. and the Sunday-School work and both of these organizations owe much to this good woman for their success.

Mrs Brown had a great zeal for missions and gave much of her time and talent as well as money to the cause  of missions.

She was a charter member and the principal organizer of the M. F. C. club and down to the last days of her life the work and success of this organization was a source of keen delight to her.  For the past five years Mrs. Brown has been confined to her bed, at times suffering keenly but patiently, living her day and getting what good things she could from it. Her passing was peaceful and marked the end of a life that has had much of good in it; much of sorrow and suffering, but also much of joy through the giving of herself and of her talents and of her substance for the uplift of others.

Funeral services were held from the home on Sat., Feb. 28, at 2:30 p. m , conducted by the pastor, Rey. F. C. McCallon. Interment in Fairview Cemetery.

Caldwell, Margaret Wylie Wilson -

Margaret Wylie Wilson was born near New Concord, Ohio, Sept. 24, 1836; married to Samuel Lewis Caldwell of Morning Sun, Iowa, May 5, 1863; and died in Lenox. Iowa, Sabbath, February 22, 1914, and so was 77 years old

at her last birthday. Her health had been failing for some months past but about a month ago it became known that the dread disease cancer was preying on the vitals of her body and her intimate friends knew that it was only a question of time, and possibly a very short time, until she, like all mortals of earth, must obey the summons of the messenger of death.

Mrs. Caldwell is survived by seven children; Mrs. Emma E. Reed of Rostwick, Neb , John C. of Creston, Mrs. Sarah McEthinney of Morning Sun, Mrs. Cora B. Casey of Kent, Mrs. Margaret M. Plants, Miss Anna E. and Miss Mary J. of Lenox. Twenty grandchildren and two great grandchildren also survive the deceased.

Mrs. Caldwell united with the Covenanter church very early in early life which was quite exceptional in those days three-quarters of a century ago when boys and girls were not supposed to be qualified at least intellectually for church membership at least in some churches.  After her marriage she joined the

United Presbyterian church, holding her membership with her husband in Morning Sun, Iowa, in Mediapolis and Lenox. The house of God was very dear to her heart and the ordinances of divine grace were highly prized. To do the

will of the Master was more than her meat and her drink, while love for the blessed Word made it her meditation night and day. 

The burial service was conducted by Rev. A. L. Davidson in the residence

Tuesday at three o'clock, Feb. 24, 1914. The text of the discourse was Psalm 23, 6. The interment was in Fairview Cemetery. Her beautiful life reminds you

of the picture of the good woman portrayed by King Solomon in the thirty-first chapter of Proverbs.

Dulany, William Henry -

William Henry Dulany an old lumberman, died at his home at Hannibal, Mo., March 4, at the advanced age of 96 years. Mr. Dulany started in the lumber business 86 years ago and at the time of his death was connected with many lumber concerns, in the north, south and west. The Dunlays own practically all of the stock in the Eclipse Lumber Co which has retail yards scattered through Iowa and Minnesota, the son and grandson being officers in this company. The business success of Mr. Dulany is, of course due to capacity backed up by fixed purpose. We quote the following from the "American Lumberman."  His life's history is a practical illustration of what a man can accomplish who starts out in life with fixed purposes, based on right principles. His early struggles with

poverty taught him sympathy for those who strive under adverse conditions, and his benevolent and genial nature attracted the confidence and esteem of all with whom he came in contact in private and business life. His influence in the State of Missouri has been wide and his charities and benevolences have been many. He spent the evening of life in the midst of successful family, with good prospects of making the remarkable record of living one hundred years

or more in the state in which he was born.
