She lived most of her life, and was married there William Lanfear. To them were born five sons, 3 dying in infancy, two of them being twins. The other living son Frank, resides at Harlan, Nebraska, and visited his mother here in the fall. She also leaves to mourn her loss a number of grandchildren and several great-grandchildren, and a sister Mrs. E. L. Wells of Denver. She has made her home here with her son and family for the past 16 years, she has been totally blind for the past 15 years, but her mind was very strong until the last, and she was conscious the day of her death. Death resulted from kidney and heart trouble, and hardening of the artiries. Funeral services were held from the home Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock conducted by Rev. Shank, and interment made in Riverside cemetery Following is a poem Grandma Lanfear wrote on her 94th birthday. MY 94th BIRTHDAY Mrs. S. J. Lanfear I am 94 years old today, And I look around, but they are all away, My parents and my brothers too, And I wonder where’er did they go. My sisters also-----they are gone, Leaving me here all alone. Oh will I e’er see them more? Yes, I hope to meet them on the other shore; But the river looks so very dark, And my poor little aged barque, But with the aid of our heavenly hand, I may be able to reach the little band. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for their many kind acts, and the help they gave us during the long illness and death of our mother and grand- mother, also for the beautiful floral offerings.
