MRS. CLIFFORD G. ASH PASSED AWAY SUNDAYHad Been Sick Only Ten Days With Appendicitis. Funeral Held Tuesday Afternoon.The Journal is called upon this week to chronicle the death of Mrs. Clifford G. Ash, which occurred at her home northeast of Wood Sunday after noon, June 28th, after only ten days illness. She had been in usual health until Friday, the 19th, when she was taken seriously ill with appendicitis. It steadily grew worse until the following afternoon when Dr. Guthrie was called from Dububue and, assisted by local physicians, performed an operation on the sufferer for that trouble. She rallied from the shock, but was in such a weak condition that recovery seemed doubtful. She was given the best of medical attention and every care possible, but medicine seemed to be of no real benefit and on Sunday afternoon another operation followed, it being hoped by so doing that permanent relief would follow. But Providence ruled otherwise, and about four o’clock that afternoon she passed away from this world to be with her Master.Eveah May Maxson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Maxson, was born at this place on May 7th, 1891. She was batized and*received into membership in the Methodist church in Edge-wood on the 15th day of September, 1901, in her eleventh year. She completed the course in the Edgewood school and graduated with the class of 1909, afterwards taking a special course of study at Upper Iowa University. After leaving college she took up the work of teaching in which she gave acceptable and valuable service.On the 29th day -of August, 1912, she was married to Clifford G. Ash, son of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Ash, of Wood, Iowa, and the pretty, cozy home they established was the dwelling place of life’s pure and quiet joys, crowned by a beautiful love and confidence that united heart to heart.Mrs. Ash was known as one of our very best young ladies, having a 'sunny smile for everyone, a cheery disposition at all times,acomplished in music, and above all, possessing that beautiful trait of pure womanhood and cap able of making the home a place of sunshine and love for the one she had chosen for her life companion. To him, as well as other members of the family, will fall the heavy burden of grief as a thundebrolt from a clear sky. But there is left to them the legacy [of a lovable, modest, faithful character, the memory of one who knew the meaning of responsibility and who always bore the part alloted to her with conscientious fidelity. The influence of home and church, together with her own purity of character, shielded her developing l5fe from the snares that so often entrap the feet of less favorable young people. Consequently she grew into a beautiful womanhood, loved and trusted by all who knew her.Our Roll Of Honor.The following people have paid their subscriptions to The Journal since last week.
