Those surviving are Mrs. Belle Frazier of Albion, Mrs. Flo Boller of Nevada, Mrs. Georgia Doggett of Ames, Mrs. Blanche Gilchrist of Ames and the son of Dorr Allen of Nevada.
She leaves one sister, Mrs. Julia Stevens of Rhodes.
The father, John Blackman was a native of Kent, England, while her mother Sophia Carley was born in Sussex, England.
