AMERICA PAULEY
America Smock was born in Kentucky in 1832. Moved to Indiana and grew to womanhood there. At the age of 15 she united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church in Kentucky. She was married to Solomon Pauley August 17, 1849, remaining in Indiana until they moved to Iowa in 1857, living in Mahaska county two years, then coming to Monroe county and has lived half a century in the home from which she passed away.
To this union four children were born, three of whom are living, the other one passing away only a week before her mother. They are R. S. Pauley of Beattie, Kans., Mary A., of Cherryvale, Kans. but recently of near Avery, and deceased, Mrs. Lessinger of Avery and J. A. Pauley of Albia.
She was a sturdy, strong woman, and remained very active until recent years. For the last three or four months her health has been failing, but she was under the constant care of her children. Her son, R. S., of Kansas, came a month ago to help care for her and was such a comfort and help to his mother in her last days. Her children, one grandchild and one great grandchild were with her when the end came, Wednesday forenoon, Nov. 22, having lived to the ripe old age of nearly 85 years.
Mrs. Pauley is the last old settler on the road from Albia to Eddyville.
Those left to mourn their loss are the three children, 16 grandchildren, a number of great grandchildren and relatives and friends. The son, R. S. Pauley, has served his home state of Kansas as Senator and is at present serving from his district as Senator. He also served his county as Treasurer for four years.
Funeral services were held at her home Friday, Nov. 24, 1916, conducted by Rev. J. A. Barnes of Service. Interment at Covenanter (Hickory Grove) cemetery. The floral offerings were many and beautiful.
Those from out of town attending the funeral were Mrs. C. A. Corum and Mrs. Paul Little and son of Cherryvale, Kans., and R. S. Pauley of Beattie, Kans.
