MRS. LINDOW, BELOVED LADY, PASSES AWAY

Miss Zelia Moore was born in the town of Magnolia, August 31, 1885 and was
the youngest of six daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Z. C. Moore. She died at her
home in Watertown, August 20, 1916. Death came from spinal meningitis and
complications.

At the age of twelve she united with the Free Baptist church of this city
and has ever since taken an active interest in church work. On December 25,
1911, she married Dr. Geo. Lindow, of Manawa. During the first years of
their married life they lived in the East, where the doctor finished his
education. In June this summer they located at Watertown, where they made
for themselves a large circle of friends and where Dr. Lindow was working
into a most promising future in the medical profession.

On March 13, 1916, a little son was born to Dr. and Mrs. Lindow. The little
one is now left in the kind and loving care of Dr. Lindow's father and
mother of Manawa.

Mrs. Lindow spent part of her girlhood school days in the Evansville
Seminary, later preparing herself for the practical things of life by
learning to sew and following with a complete business course in the Beloit
Business College. After completing her school work, she was employed in
Milwaukee until her marriage.

Her genial disposition and pleasant ways made for her many friends among
both the old and young. Those persons once her friends were always her
friends. Since her marriage she has devoted herself to her husband and
little son in a most whole-hearted way. Home-making was the art she
cultivated most and her greatest pleasure and greatest success was in
making her well-ordered home one without comparison to her family.

Besides her husband and infant son, she leaves her mother, Mrs. Fannie V.
Moore of this city, and five sisters, Mrs. Phila Blakeley, of Evansville;
Mrs. Carrie Schroeder, of Marshall, Minn.; Mrs. Lena Ferris, of Los
Angeles, Cal.; Mrs. Edith Woodstock, of Afton, and Miss M. Frances Moore of
Redwood Falls, Minn. Her remains were brought here Monday and taken to the
home of her sister, Mrs. Blakeley, at 315 South Second Street, from which
place the funeral was held at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday. Rev. Ellen Copp, of
Janesville, conducted the funeral service.

The following young men of one of her former Sunday School classes were
pall bearers: Will Tomlin, Max Weaver, Russelll Weaver, Stanley Perry,
Eldon Hatfield and Lee Milbrandt. Interment was made at Maple Hill
cemetery.
