OBITUARY: Flora Covey, 1862-1911, Mitchell Co., Iowa



 
                             MRS. FLORA COVEY

                Born April 28, 1862  - Died April 18, 1911

Mrs. Flora Covey, beloved wife of William Covey, was born in Alden, Erie Co.,
New York, April 28, 1962, and died at her home in Osage, April 18, 1911, at
the age of 48 years, 11 months and 18 days.  She had not been well for a
long time, but had born up patiently and bravely until the serious illness
of her husband and the sudden death of her son, Roy, prostrated her and her
frail body could not rally.  She realised, however, that the great change
was coming some days ago and made all necessary preparations even to the
selection of the text, Jno. 14:16, which was used for the funeral service.
Mrs. Covey died as she had lived, strong in her Christian faith and faithful
to the Lincoln Baptist church of which she was a member.

Her husband to whom she was married at Lincoln, September 28, 1892, her
daughter and many other relatives and friends mourn their loss.  The
sympathy of the community goes out to this family in their bereavement
and sickness. Rev. L. T. Foreman, of the Osage Baptist church, conducted
the funeral services April 20th, and the tired body was laid to rest at
Orchard by the side of her son Roy.
