 Obituary of Mrs. Chas. Brulo. Mrs. Chas. Brulo, of Onslow, who has been ailing 
for a year or more, and was confined to her bed for the last three weeks, has 
passed to the great beyond. She suffered from some internal difficulty for 
which the physicians could give her no relief. The funeral services were held 
in the Methodist church, August 18, at 2 o'clock, the pastor of the church in

charge. The body was interred in the North Madison cemetery. During the service 
the following notice was read. Catherine C. Broham was born near London, 
Canada, May 4, 1849, and died at her home at Onslow, Iowa, August 17, 1909, at 
the age of 60 years, 3 months, 15 days. She was married to Charles Brulo, in 
Dubuque, Iowa, December 10, 1865. To this union there were born four daughters, 
two of whom died in early childhood, and the other two, Mrs. Mae Overley and 
Mrs. Verna French, both of Onslow, survive with their father. Loneliness will 
now be their experience, and this will be especially hard for the husband, who 
through the 44 years of his wedded life was never separated from his now 
deceased wife a week at a time except once for almost two weeks.



The family moved to Onslow in July 1886, and have remained here ever since. 
Mrs. Brulo was converted in Dubuque about 1884, and joined the Methodist church 
in Onslow in March, 1889. Through the 20 years fo her affiliation with the 
church she was a good faithful worker when able to be actively engaged. She was 
one of the charter members of the Ladies' Aid society. Her neighbors who have 
known her for many years, testify to her kindly, cheerful spirit, saying also 
that she exhibited an unusual degree of patience, and always exerted a hopeful 
influence over the family. During her last hours she had a wonderful

sense of peace-that peace with God which is precious to the soul. She spoke of 
it to her pastor, to her family and to her friends. It was the predominating 
thought in her mind the last few days. Monday when asked how she felt, she 
said, ''I am as happy as I can be." As the final touch upon its former home, 
her peaceful spirit moulded a smile upon her face and then went to abide with 
the God of peace.
