October 14, 1898    

Amanda J. HELD, died at her home eight miles northwest of Anthony, on Tuesday,
October 4, at 2:20 o'clock, p.m. of peritonitis, aged 72 years, 10 months and 1
day.
Amanda J. Held was born in Cincinnati, O., December 3, 1825, where she lived
until grown to womanhood when she with her parents moved to Williamsport, Ind.,
where she united with the Presbyterian church.
She was married in 1851 to Jacob Held, and in 1875 moved to Illinois. In 1879
with her family she came to Harper county where she has since made her home. 
Mrs. Held was the mother of nine children, five of whom are living. All except
Mrs. Anna L. SINGER were with her when she died. Mrs. Singer owing to sickness,
did not arrive until after the funeral. Mrs. Held was a good mother, a kind
friend, and a concientious christian, whose life was worthy of exemplification. 
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.R. Edwards on Wednesday afternoon
and the body laid to rest in Spring Grove cemetery. 

Card of Thanks.
To the kind friends who so kindly helped and sympathized with us during the
sickness and death of our beloved mother, we desire through the columns of this
paper to extend our heartfelt thanks.
L.M. Held, Clara Held, Mrs. A.L. Singer, Mrs. I.E. Whinery, Mrs. M.E. Ferguson.
