Aged I.dy TasKcs Away
From Saturday's Dallr.
DIED Woodson, Mrs. Elizabeth A.,
at her home in Piattsmouth, Neb.,
on August 27, 1909, of deutHls,
aged 75 years 4 months and 20
days. Funeral Sunday, August
29, 1909, at 3 o'clock p. m., from
the Christian church, Piattsmouth,
Neb., Rev. Luther Moore officiat
ing. After an illness covering almost a
period of two weeks, Mrs. Elizabeth
A. Woodson passed to her reward
last evening. On Tuesday, August
17, Mrs. Woodson had the misfor
tune to fall and fracture her hip.
Owing to her advanced age and en
feebled condition, due to the exist
ence of an unsuspected complain, re
covery seemed to be out of the ques
tion, and was proven later this was
the condition of things.
Mrs. Woodson was born in West
Virginia on April 7. 1837, and has
been a resident of this city for many
years. In company with her husband
she had come to riattsmouth when it
was but a small town and assisted
him in building up several lines of
business, which were of great help
to the city. In recent years with
advancing age, both Mr. and Mrs.
Woodson had ceased their activities
In business life and had lived in se
clusion.
Mrs. Woodson is survived by two
sons and two daughters, among them
a son, Thomas Woodson of this city,
and a daughter, Mrs. Fraser of Des
Moines, Ia., her husband, the late
Jamese M. Woodson having proceed
ed her to the better world some 6lx
months ago. She is also survived
by a brother, Philip Harrison, and
two Bisters, Mrs. W. S. Purdy and
Mrs. T. T. Wilkinson, all of this city.
In her lifetime Mrs. Woodson was
one of the best of women. She was
a devout Christian lady, one who al
ways felt the sustaining power and
influence of religion and whose every
Ideal was that of the true Christian.
Her personality was such that
throughout her long life she had
made a great many friends, all of
whom heard with the deepest sorrow
of her passing away. A loving
mother, her death has caused her
children the most profound grief,
and In their sorrow they have the
sincere condolence of a host of
friends.
The funeral of this most estimable
lady takes place tomorrow (Sunday)
afternoon at 3 o'clock from the
Christian church in this city, Rev.
Luther Moore delivering the ser
mon. Interment will be in the fam
ily lot at Oak Hill cemetery.
Decorate for the Curuivul.
The undersigned committee on dec
oration for the carnival hereby re
quest the citizens of Piattsmouth to
take immediate steps to decorate
their several places of business on
Main and Sixth streets in honor of
carnival week, and also to decorate
ithelr pllvate sidences throughout
the city. The city during the com
Ing week will be filled with strang
ers and visitors and it behooves all
to put the best possible front on for
their benefit. Let us all get together
and decorate the city as it never has
been decorated before. Let flags and
bunting fill the air and let every one
coming into Piattsmouth realize that
this Is a real, live town. The Interest
of one Is the Interest of all, and as
this is PlattHiiiouth's first attempt at
an annual festival, It should be
properly and adequately manifested.
Decorate and decorate to the fullest
possible extent. Start work on this
line todny and don't let it falter until
after Monday, September 6.
