FINE OLD LADY DIES--Oct. 11, 1915
Mrs. J. N. Kitterman Passes Away Monday Evening--Funeral Held 
Tomorrow Afternoon at M.E. Church

Mrs. J. N. Kitterman, who has been in ill health for the past six 
months, passed away at her home here Monday evening at 6:30 o'clock.  
Death was due to cancer of the stomache.  Although a constant sufferer 
Mrs. Kitterman never gave up, and it was but two weeks ago she was 
compelled to take to her bed.  The end, however, came quickly, and 
surrounded by most of her children and her husband, she passed into 
that other world from whence no traveler ever returns, but where 
peace and contentment reigns supreme.

Phylinda Cole Mix, daughter of the late Samuel and Laura Mix, was 
born April 17, 1848, at Stanstead, Canada East, and came with her 
parents to Illinois when a young  girl of six years.  The family 
located west of Lombardville, but later moved to Osceola, where she 
grew to womanhood.  On December 3, 1866, she was married to J. N. 
Kitterman, and later in their life Mr. and Mrs. Kitterman moved to 
Bradford, since which place has been their home.  To this union were 
born eleven children.  Two passed away in infancy, and another 
daughter, May, died at the age of 29 years.  Those left to mourn a 
devoted wife and mother are the husband and the following children.--
Mrs. Viola E. Manning, Mrs. Ora E. Ribley, John H., Ross E., and 
Jasper W. of this place, Mrs. Mabel L. Schember, Mrs. Iva Bottin and 
Roscoe, all of Pekin.  Also a brother Amos A. Mix of Sioux Falls, So. 
Dak., besides many other relatives and friends.

Mrs. Kitterman was a kind neighbor, a good Christian woman and an 
indulgent and loving wife and mother.  As long as she was able she 
attended the church of her adoption, the Methodist Episcopal, and 
lived according to its doctrines the best she knew how.  Of the old 
sturdy pioneer stock, she knew of the hardships that early settlers 
of this community passed through and never forgot the honest 
hospitality of those days.  None ever enter her home without a warm 
welcome, nor left without feeling of the warmth of genuine kindness 
extended to them.  And it can be truly said of her that while she 
continued to enjoy the society of her friends and children she has 
for several years realized that her active life was over, and she but 
waited with resignation the Devine call from death unto life. Hers 
had been a long life, and she died as she lived, honored, loved and 
ravered.  We trust she has reaped her reward, and gone to the 
Celestial home od many mansions.

The funeral will be held at 2:00 o'clock at the M. E. Church, Rev. H. 
W. Bell to have charge.  Burial will be in the Bradford cemetery.

The members of the W.R.C. and G.A.R. will attend in a body.  The 
former is requested to be at the church at 1:45.
