MRS. ABBOTT BARROWS

She was married to Thara Abbott Barrows on February 9, 1892. Their residence was established in Clark County where they have always lived.
Seven children blessed this home. Georetta Wood of Revere, Stella Colter and Mabel Schuster of Wyaconda, Florence Walker and Lee A. Barrows of Kahoka, Margaret Westbrook of Lancaster and Wayne H. Barrows of Kahoka, now overseas.
Though Mrs. Barrows health had been failing for some time, she was seriously ill only a week.
Besides the son, Wayne, she has five grandsons in the service of their country. Stuart B. Wood, Craig Walker, Leland Schuster, Leroy Barrows and Kenneth Westbrook.
Besides her companion, who passed away March 5, 1930, she was preceded in death by her parents, an infant brother, Granville, a sister, Susie Grate and brother, Gilbert Cook.
Those left to mourn her departure are all of the afore named children, twenty-five grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Lillian Barrows, San Bernardino, Calif., Mrs. C. F. Snyders, Ashton, Mo. and Wm. Cook, Rock Island, Ill. Since early girlhood she has been a member of the Cedar Grove Baptist Church.
She was a devoted wife, a kind and indulgent mother and a true friend. A dear one is gone, a life filled with doing for others. Surely Heaven is her reward.
