Mrs. May Brown Dies Suddenly at Their Country Home After Brief Illness
Ida May Robb was born March 5, 1883, in Grundy County, Illinois and died at her home near Estherville, Iowa, on February 2, 1922 at 6:15 o'clock in the morning. Age 38 years, 10 months and 28 days.
She came with her parents to Estherville in 1893 and was united in marriage to Arthur E. Brown during the year 1900. To this union three children were born, Ethel Alvers, now Mrs. Lester Sheldon; Maurice Vern and George Wesley, all of whom live in Estherville. Those left to mourn her loss besides the husband and three children are her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Robb; three sisters and three brothers, Geo. H. Robb, of Estherville, Walter E. Robb, of Arnegard, North Dakota, Olive E. Rugtive of Estherville, Pearl M. Egbert of Iowa Falls, Laura B. Kendall of Milford and Emmet G. Robb of Estherville, and indeed a host of very dear friends.
Mrs. Brown had been a long time member of the Methodist Episcopal church and a very active worker in the several auxiliaries, societies and clubs of the church. From all these her absence will be sorely felt. Her death was very sudden and greatly shocked the whole community. Her health having been almost perfect and yet in her thirties she was in the very bloom of life. She was in her usual high spirits at noon on Wednesday, was taken very seriously sick during the afternoon when a doctor was immediately called and the family summoned to her bedside, at six fifteen the next morning was cold in death. Truly, "in the midst of life, we are in death." One short week ago she was with us in the fullness of life, today she sleeps ---
"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep!
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the lust of foes.
"Asleep in Jesus, perfect rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest!
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour that manifests the Savior's power.
Funeral service were held from the Methodist Episcopal church on Sunday afternoon. A double quartet sang beautifully and the Rev. J. W. LaGrone spoke briefly and appreciatively of the high esteem in which the deceased was held by the church and the whole community. More than 50 members of the Priscillas, the Sunday School class of which she was a member, were present. Seldom is there a greater display of beautiful flowers than those brought by friends, neighbors and the several societies of which she was a member. The church was packed to the very doors. Burial was made in Oak Hill Cemetery. (Estherville Enterprise, Estherville, IA, February 8, 1922)
