July 29, 1898

Mrs. Matilda SHAFER, born in Hurn County, Iowa, in 1842, died July 19th, 1898.
She was married to J.W. TUCKER in 1861, removed to this place, Kimeo, Kansas in
1873. She lived blameless, bearing her part with her bereaved husband the toils
subsequent to a pioneering life, reared a family of three noble men, (buried one
child.) Wm. is living on the old homestead; Stephen near Odell, Rooks county;
Charles near Alton, Osborn county, all prosperous. 
Sister TUCKER was a Christian woman led by faith in Him who was able to help her
in all her trials, and many shall rise up to call her blessed, for she could
never turn the stranger cold or hungry from the door.
She suffered from paralysis, the second stroke making quick work.
Her husband and sons offer their heartfelt thanks to the friends and neighbors
for the kind care and attention in their hours of sorrow. 
The last words were spoken by the Revs. Knight and Bland at the Congregational
church, and she was laid away in the Appleton cemetery, until the trumpet6 shall
sound and awake all ye saints.
