Tatman, of Eddyville and Mrs. Mary Cranson, of Poweshiek County. In the year 1858 Mr. Buher was instantly killed in a boiler explosion which occurred in the Gish grist mill at this place.

She became a member of the Christian church when but 14 years of age, and had been an exemplary Christian since. For over 60 years past she has been a resident of this locality, most of that time having been passed upon the old homestead near Pekay. For a number of years past she has resided with her children here. Of late her daughter, Mrs. C. Tatman, has made her home with her mother. Many friends regret the death of this aged settler, and extend sympathy to the bereaved relatives and their threefold grief.
The funeral services were conducted at the Christian church by the pastor, elder BW Pettit, at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in Highland Cemetery.
