Maybelle Bertha Plowman, nee Tatum, daughter of Humphrey and Elizabeth
Tatum was born near Carpenter, Iowa, May 4, 1901.  She was the youngest
of three children.  She was educated in the public school and grew to
womanhood in this community where she won for herself a host of friends.

At the age of 14 she was baptized by Rev. Wm. Galbreth.  She was united
in marriage to George H.  Plowman of Carpenter on Oct. 23, 1917.  To this
union one son was born, Gerald Keith, at the Park Hospital in Mason City,
August 20, 1929.

Only a few short weeks was she permitted to enjoy the gifts of the little
son.  She was called to depart this life on Friday Sept. 27, 1929 at the
Park Hospital, Mason City, at 9:40 P.M.

She leaves to mourn her untimely death, her husband and the son, her
mother and stepfather Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Robinson of Nora Springs, two
brothers and one sister namely Mathew and Frank Tatum of Mason City and
Lucille Robinson of Nora Springs, also a host of other relatives and
friends.

She was a kind and loving wife and daughter and a friend to all.  She will
be missed in the home and the community.

pastor Rev. R. E. Walters and Rev. William Galbreth a former pastor now
at Plymouth, with brief services at the home at 2: P.M. and service at the
Evangelical Methodist church at Carpenter at 2:30 P.M.

The body was laid to rest in the Carpenter cemetery.  The heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mr. Plowman and the little
son, the mother and all other relatives who so deeply mourn the loss of
this loved one.
