Clearfield Enterprise ( Clearfield, Iowa), Thursday, July 22, 1920 [p. 1]
Obituary Mrs. Wm. Fleming
Amy Jane Chittenden was born in Cassopolis, Michigan, March 6, 1847, and died at her home July 18, 1920, aged 73 years, 4 months, and 12 days.
She moved with her parents from Michigan to Stark County, Illinois, in 1866 and from there to Taylor County, Iowa in 1876 to the farm where she has since made her home. On October 10, 1879 she was married to Wm. C. [ortley] Fleming. She had one brother Wallace, who died March 6, 1880. When but a girl she united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Illinois.
For many years she had cared for her aged parents, who lived with her, since the death of their son.
Her mother was blind for the last fifteen years of her life and this with her feeble condition made her a great care, but Mrs. Fleming's unfailing patience and loving attendance was the marvel of all who knew her.
Since the death of her mother whom she survived but 1 year and 1 day she has been gradually failing in health, and while her friends were conscious of her failing health, they were surprised that the end should come so soon.
She leaves to mourn her death besides her friends and neighbors, only her husband and one or two distant relatives. It is probable that her unfailing devotion to her afflicted mother shortened her life. Be it so, those who knew her best feel that she would not have it otherwise. But surely, He who said, "Honor thy father and mother", will say, "Well done thou good and faithful servant."
The relatives attending the funeral from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fleming, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Fleming, Mrs. J. C. Fleming, and Miss Gertrude of Illinois, Mr. R. Fleming and family, and Tuttle and family of Lenox.
Funeral was held on Tuesday at 10 o'clock from her late home. Interment in Conway Cemetery. Rev. S. Boyd Johnson, pastor of the United Presbyterian Church officiating.
