Mrs Ira Gwynn dies Friday Evening Well Known to Both Old and Young by Her Gentle Disposition -- On Friday evening death relieved one of the well-known ladies of this vicinity when the Angel of Death called Mrs Ira Gwynn to her final reward, at her home west of town. Mrs Gwynn had been in failing health for the past two years but had been able to be about the house during the past summer. Three weeks ago she suffered a fracture of the hip when she tripped and fell, and had not been able to arise from bed since that time. The suffering from her injured hip and weakened heart action brought death. Adeline (sic) Root, born on July 14, 1846 in Allen County, was married 56 years ago to Ira Gwynn. To the couple were born seven children, five sons remaining to comfort the bereaved husband and father. Those remaining are: H. Clare Gwynn, of Vancouver, British Columbia; John Gwynn, of Loma, Montana; Harry Gwynn, of Richwood; Quincy Gwynn, of the parental farm; and Thurman Gwynn, living just across the road from his brother's, where the death of Mrs Gwynn occurred. Mrs Amy Yore, wife of Martin Yore, and Mrs Ida Garvin, wife of Norman S. Garvin, daughters of Mr and Mrs Gwynn, are deceased. The former died 18 years ago and the death of Mrs Garvin (who is buried in Montana) occurred five years ago. In addition to the immediate family, there are 19 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren remaining. The son, John Gwynn of Montana, is now at home, called here by the serious illness of his mother. She was a member of the Methodist Church at North Greenfield and a Christian mother. Her friendly disposition, gentle manner and loving kindness to all with whom she came in contact made many rays of sunshine in the lives of friends and relatives. Funeral services were held last Sunday afternoon, interment taking place in North Greenfield cemetery.
