Mrs. Margaret Bishop, widow of C. A. Bishop, early settler of Crystal township, died October 2, 1945 at the home of a son John, at Rowley, Iowa.

She and her husband farmed in Crystal township many years, retiring in Marshalltown in 1899 where he died in 1925. After the death of her husband, she made her home with a son, Arthur, and family, at Algona, Iowa, and accompanied them when they moved from Algona to Mason City a year or two ago. Last spring, she went to Rowley to spend a few months with John.
Funeral services were held at Rowley at 11 o'clock Thursday morning of last week, after which the body was brought here for burial beside the husband and two sons in Crystal cemetery. A minister from Rowley conducted the funeral and accompanied the body here for brief services at the cemetery. Her three sons and two nephews were pallbearers at Crystal cemetery.
