DIED-

POTTER- Mrs. Mary Jane Potter was born in Lorraine County, Ohio, June 16, 
1842, and died at her home in Monmouth, Iowa, March 26, 1889. About 36 years 
ago deceased came to Iowa and on August 13, 1862, married James Potter. After 
the close of the Civil War they moved on their farm in Jones County, Iowa, 
where they lived until a few months ago, when they moved to Monmouth, Iowa. Of 
the four children born to them, two are now living, and two are gone on 
before. The aged parents and one sister in Clay county, and a brother and 
sister in Dallas county., with the husband, two children and a host of friends 
are left to mourn their loss.

On March 27, the funeral services were held in the M. E. church in Monmouth, 
Rev. J. R. A. Hanner preaching the sermon. The church was crowded, thus 
showing the esteem in which she was held by the community. In June, 1879, the 
deceased joined the Lutheran church, of which she was a member at the time of 
her death. During her long and severe sickness she spoke a great many times of 
her readiness to leave this world. Thus another home is broken, but may there 
be a reunion, by and by, on the other shore.
