Here she grew to womanhood and became the wife of Edwin Nason, they going to Colorado to make their home. Death claimed her husband and she returned to Maquoketa, making her home with her parents for a time. Later she went to Davenport and on October 25, 1900, became the wife of A. R. Paul, a commercial traveler of that city, with whom she lived most happily until death again visited the home and left her in widowhood about five years ago. Early this year she returned to Maquoketa to assist in caring for her aged parents. Her health has been impaired for several years, but she failed rapidly of late and answered the final summons as above stated. She is survived by an aged mother, one sister, Mrs. Eliza J. Smith of Delmar, and one brother, Freeman W. Dell of Maquoketa. The deceased was a good woman, respected and loved by all who knew her, a loving wife, a devoted daughter and a kind neighbor. She was a Christian, holding church affiliations in Davenport, where her remains were taken, and where her late husband lies buried. Many friends in this city deeply regret her death and extend their sympathy to those who are bereft.
