Mrs. Charlotte Yockey Eichhorn was born near Iowa City, Iowa, on December 16, 1857, and died at her home in Hornick, Iowa, Monday morning December 30, 1929, at the age of 72 years and 14 days. She united in marriage with Martin Eichhorn February 10, 1880 at Oasis, Iowa, a town not far from her home, and after one year the young couple moved to Pottawattamie county. They did not however live there more than one year and then moved to a place 6.5 miles northeast of Hornick which is known as the Eichhorn farm. Twenty years ago Mr. and Mrs. Eichhorn retired from active farm work and moved to Hornick where the husband died almost 5 years ago, and where now the widow followed him in death.
Eight children were born to them. One of them died in early infancy, and the living are Wm. M. Eichhorn of Hornick; Mrs. Emma E. Lang of Roseville, Ill.; Rolly C. Eichhorn of Rodney; Mrs. Gertrude M. Rose of Hornick, the twin sisters, Mrs. Ella Rose of Hornick, and Mrs. Nelle Tucker of Jefferson, Iowa, and Mrs. Maude Egger of Holly Springs.
Besides these 7 children she leaves also 22 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.
Almost 3 years ago it was found she was afflicted with cancer and was operated upon. She never fully recovered her health, and some time ago she suffered a slight paraletic stroke. Eight weeks ago she went to the Methodist hospital for treatment and after 3 weeks she went back to her home where she lingered 5 weeks and then went to sleep as peacefully as a child does at the close of day.
She has been a member of the Methodist church since girlhood and a good and dependable member she has been. One of the kind we can ill afford to lose. She was a woman of sturdy character, who did her work in the fear of the Lord. She was a good housekeeper, a faithful wife and a mother who did her best to raise her children right. Nobly and faithfully she did her work and her children who were at her bedside when death came rise up and call her blessed.
She had a host of friends who respected her and as they learned to know her, loved her. The church and the community are sorrowing because she is no more with us, but today, we remember that it is better to be with the Lord.
