CHILD.—At her home in Nevada, Ia., Aug. 23, 1886, Mrs. David Child, aged 75 years.
Mrs. Child was born in Lyman, Grafton county, N. H., March 14, 1811, and her maiden name was Charlotte Moulton. She was married to David Child, March 22, 1827, with whom for nearly sixty years she has experienced the joys and sorrows of wedded life. She was the mother of seven children, five sons and two daughters, all of whom reached mature life, and but one son are still living. The early home of Mr. and Mrs. Child was at Bath, N. H., and it was also the birthplace of all their children. In 1851 they moved to Peoria, Illinois, and in 1856 to Nevada, Iowa. They were among the first settlers of the town, having resided here a little over thirty years. Mrs. Child's health has been very much impaired during the past two years, but her death was not looked for until her illness of the last two weeks. Grandma Child was a bright, cheerful, and pleasant old lady. She was broad and liberal in her religious views, and possessed unquestioned faith in the immortality of the soul. She always had a pleasant greeting for every one, and ah helping hand for those in need. She has lived a good life and has passed to her reward with the affectionate remembrance of her household, even to the third and fourth generations, and the universal esteem of the community in which she lived. To Uncle David Child, in this day of his sad bereavement, all hearts are turned in true sympathy, and to all members of the mourning families sincere condolence is extended. The funeral services were conducted at the house, at 2 p.m., Aug. 25, by Rev. R. A. Ferguson, and were largely attended by friends and neighbors.—Nevada (Iowa) Representative.

There has been but one death in the family in the sixty years. Messrs. Dudley and Jonathan Child and Stanley Bartlett attended the funeral, which was the largest in the history of Nevada.
