Obituary - The family of Robert Iten were very much shocked and surprised on Tuesday morning to find upon awaking that the aged mother of Mrs. Iten, Mrs. E. H. Derby, was dead in bed. Some time in August last the deceased lady fell and sustained a fracture of the hip bone, since which time she has been an invalid. Although somewhat emaciated she has enjoyed an ordinary degree of health and was feeling as well as usual on Monday evening at the time the family retired. Dr. W. H. Fisher was called as soon as the fact of her death was discovered, who pronounces death to have resulted from heart failure.
The deceased came to Le Sueur in 1872 with her husband from Ohio and resided here since then until the death of her husband, E. H. Derby, some six years ago, since which time she has resided with her daughter Mrs. Robt. Iten, at Fargo, N. D., Detroit, Mich. and this city. She was the mother of thirteen children, seven of whom, five sons and two daughters, now survive here. The funeral will occur today.
