Her entire life was spent in Wapello with the exception of a few years after her marriage, when she lived at Conesville, Muscatine and Davenport.
Two years ago the 10th of February she underwent an operation at the Davemport hospital but her health gradually failed until a second operation was necessary in August of the same year, after which she seemed to inprove for a time, but in September of the following year she was operated on the third time from which she never recovered.
