OBITUARY: Grace Brown Tupper, 1880-1934, Mitchell Co., Iowa




                       GRACE TUPPER DIED THURSDAY
                       AFTER BUT TWO DAYS ILLNESS

  Grace Brown Tupper was born on the old Tupper homestead in Lincoln
Township Jan. 23, 1880, and died at her home in Osage Aug. 30, 1934,
after a sickness of about two days.  In apparent good health Tuesday,
she was stricken without warning Tuesday afternoon and did not regain
consciousness before her death early Thursday afternoon.

  She was the elder daughter of William and Flora Tupper both of whom
preceded her in death.

  Her life, with the exception of one year at Iowa University, was lived
in this community.

  Her only sister, Mrs. Fred Stearns, is left to mourn one who was more
than a sister to her.  Three nieces and two nephews, to whom she was
devoted, besides many relatives, friends and neighbors, will miss her
cheerful smile and helpful hand.

  Her place in church will be hard to fill, for she gladly gave much of
her time and energy to any service she could render. As financial secretary
of the Congregational church she has labored incessantly for several years.

  She has been a member of chapter A.W P.E.O. for many years, filling many
of the offices and one-time serving as president.

  Thus in a few words is recorded a life lived unselfishly.  What greater
tribute can be given than "She lived for others".?
