Mrs. Louisa Fellows.

Mrs. Louisa Fellows died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mrs. [sic] M. G. Eaton, Monday, February 12, 1912, at 8:15 p. m., aged 76 years, 4 months and 5 days. The cause of her death was dropsy from which she had suffered for about a year, and her condition had been considered serious for several weeks before her death.

Miss Louisa Powers was born in Groton, Grafton county, New Hampshire, October 7, 1835. She was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Powers. She was united in marriage in 1856 [May 10, 1857] to Josiah Archer, who died in the Andersonville prison August 23, 1863 [sic], having served two and one-half years in the civil war, Co. A 9th regiment, Infantry of New Hampshire. One child, Mrs. M. G. Eaton, of this city, was born to this union.

In 1869 she was married to Ezekiel Fellows at Boston, Mass. They came west in 1871, and located near Dallas City, this county. After a few years they moved to Bushnell, and later to Carthage, where the husband passed away in 1895.

To this union was [sic] born two children, Mrs. Hattie Phillips, Quincy, and Harry Fellows, of Keokuk, Iowa.

Mrs. Fellows united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Carthage twenty years ago, and had lived a faithful Christian life since. She was a kind and loving mother, a true friend, and always attended divine services until the infirmities accompanying old age prevented her going.

Besides the children she leaves to mourn their loss a sister, Mrs. Esther Hemphill, of Bristol, New Hampshire, and eight grandchildren.

Mrs[.] Fellows had a very retentive memory. A few months previous to her death she received from her sister in New Hampshire a souvenir booklet of Grafton county, H. H. and easily recognized familiar scenes of her childhood.

Relatives from a distance who were present at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Fellows, Keokuk, Iowa; Mrs. Hattie Phillips and Mrs. Clyde Phillips, of Quincy, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Eaton, __ Keokuk, Iowa.

Funeral services were held at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. M. G. Eaton at 2 o'clock Thursday, Rev, Paul P. Kies officiating. Burial in LaHarpe cemetery.
