Obituary: Mrs. Anna W. Irwin, daughter of Phineas and Cynthia Buckman, was born in Baltimore county, Maryland, April 3, 1855, and died June 10, 1907. The family came to Iowa in June, 1855, and while their house was being built they boarded at Benjamin Smith's, then moved onto the farm, where in 1891 the father and in 1901 the mother died, and where Anna was married to J. Allen Irwin, January 4, 1877, and had since lived. To them four children were born: Edith, dying in infancy, Edna C., Oliver and Wilma at home. May 29, Mrs. Irwin was taken to the Homeopath hospital at Iowa City, where if was necessary to perform an operation, which in every way seemed successful and for a week she seemed to be doing well, but her health was far more impaired than even her physicians imagined, and death came to her at 2 o'clock p.m. Monday, June 10.
The funeral services were held at the home Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. Rev. Geo. Furniss, of West Liberty, preached the sermon. Many and beautiful flowers adorned the casket, the gift of kind friends and neighbors, who all watched the telephone for days, anxious for word from the loved one, whose by side the husband watched until the end came; to these the husband's heart goes out in deepest gratitude for their kind, thoughtful help and sympathy and their many manifestations of the esteem in which they held the deceased. Besides her family at home she left two brothers, Charles Buckman of West Liberty, and Oliver, of Napa City, California.
