Mrs. Marietta Mudgett, widow of the
late Isaiah Mudgett, died at her home
about a mile northeast of Princeton,
on Thursday evening, April 27, at
6:30 o'clock. Her death was directly
due to pneumonia, by which she was
attacked five days previous to the time
when she passed away. It was ac-
celerated, however, by heart disease,
from which she had suffered for sev-
eral years.

Rev. Goodell conducted funeral services
at the home on Tuesday afternoon at
2 o'clock and in his sermon paid
deserving tribute to the good woman
whose spirit had been called on high.
Selections were sung by a quartet
consisting of Mrs. Caley, Mrs.
Briggs, Guy Ewing and Claude
Briggs, Miss Verna Townsend accompanying
them on the organ.

Many people attended the obsequies
at the residence and the funeral pro-
cession to Oak Knoll cemetery was a
long one, showing the high esteem in
which Mrs. Mudgett was held by her
friends and neighbors. Numerous
beautiful floral tributes covered the
casket in which all that was mortal of
Mrs. Mudgett reposed. The pallbearers
were W. H. Townsend, Solomon Long,
G. A. Eaton, F. M. Campbell, R. D. Byers
and C. A. Dickey.

Mrs. Mudgett, whose maiden name
was Northway, was born at Orwall,
Ashtabula county, Ohio, on December
12, 1843. She left there in 1863 and
came to Minnesota, first taking up
her residence in Northfield. In 1866
she filed on a homestead in Milo town-
ship, which she disposed of later.
She was married in the village of
Princeton in 1867 to Isaiah Mudgett,
who for many years was auditor of
Mille Lacs county and who died in
1899. In 1882 she moved from the vil-
lage of Princeton to a farm a mile
northeast of here, and there continued
to live until the end came. Two sons
and three daughters survive her, viz.,
Harold Mudgett, Milaca; Isaiah Mudgett,
Princeton; Mrs. Jas. A. Williams,
Los Angeles, Cal.; Mrs. John Thoma and
Mrs David Johnson, Princeton. She also
leaves eleven grandchildren, five brothers
and one sister. The brothers and
sister are: P. I. Northway, Orwall,
Ohio; Joseph Northway, Forsythe,
Mont.; Eli Northway, Pleasant Lake,
N. D.; Myron Northway, Milo; M. C.
Northway, Foreston, and Mrs. Walter
Babb, Deer Park, Washington.

Three of her brothers, P. I., Myron
and M. C. Northway, were present at
the obsequies.

Mrs. Mudgett's taking away has caused
sorrow in the community where she resided.
She was a kind, noble woman, beloved by all who
knew her.
