"Elizabeth Paulinea Yowell"--Elizabeth Paulinea Yowell, daughter of Thomas and Mary Farmer, deceased, was born near Hamburg, Fremont county, Iowa, December 16th 1848 and departed this life at her home in Sidney, Iowa, June 6th, 1921 aged 73 years 6 months 10 days. She was united in marriage to William J. Yowell on December 25th, 1867 at the family home four miles east of Hamburg. To this union were born four children, one daughter, Bessie, who became the wife of William Wightman, and whose death occurred at Shenandoah on May 4th of this year, and three sons, Angelo, Thomas and James. Mrs.Yowell was one of 12 children born to her parents, only one of whom survive her, Almeda Booten, of Los Angeles, California.

A week previous to the decease of her daughter, and while attendant at her sickbed, she was stricken with her last illness, and although of an unusually robust constitution and blessed with health beyond her years she could not rally from the shock of her daughter's death and growing weaker with each succeeding day, she passed into the quiet and rest of the sleep which awaits all travelers in this vale of sunshine and shade.The deceased was converted to the Christian faith and became a member of the Christian church in Sidney on January 30, 1896 and remained a member of that church until her death. Of her own family she is survived by her husband, William J. Yowell, and the three sons previously mentioned, and to these bereaved ones the heart of the community goes in deep sympathy at the loss of a most estimable wife and affectionate mother. Death has taken another of the worthy pioneers of this county, and to the tide of the silent river that flows between the seen and unseen lands the affectionate regard and deep respect of a large circle of friends follow the one who has been taken from our midst.

The funeral service was held at the home of the deceased on Tuesday morning, June 7th, 1921, conducted by Rev. John Todd of Sidney. Interment was made in the Sidney cemetery.
