DEATH OF MRS. THOMAS
A Noble Wife and Mother Gone to Rest
Mrs. George W. Thomas died at her home in Sibley, Friday morning, of organic heart disease. She had been ill for about six weeks with kidney and liver trouble, which wasted her strength. At various stages of her illness she had rallied and hopes were entertained for her partial recovery.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the home conducted by Rev. W. C. Wasser, of the Methodist Church. Music was furnished by Messrs. Reagan and Hanchett, Mrs. G. B. Palmer, and Miss Bessie Romey, with Mrs. L. H. Heetland accompanist. The remains were laid to rest in the Sibley Cemetery.
Fidelia A. Crummer was born January 29, 1852, in Jo Daviess County, Illinois. She was the oldest daughter of John and Mary S. Crummer. Died September 30, 1904, at her home in Sibley, Iowa. She was married to George W. Thomas on September 27, 1870. In 1882 she and her husband removed from Illinois to Iowa, locating at Hartley, where they resided for about three years, going from there to a farm in the eastern part of Osceola county. In the fall of 1892 they moved from the farm to Harris, where they lived until January 1901, thence, coming to Sibley, where they have since made their home.
She leaves a husband and six children three daughters and three sons, to mourn their loss: Mrs. E. R. Ward of Ocheydan; Mrs. E. R. Beem, of Red Wing, Minnesota; Miss Ethel, at home; W. Roy Thomas and Frank E. Thomas, of Fulton, South Dakota; and Marion Thomas, at home. She also leaves her aged mother, Mrs. Mary S. Crummer, of Pocahontas, Iowa, and two brothers and three sisters, all being present at the last sad rites except one sister.
The deceased was of a cheerful, hopeful, and most unselfish disposition, the main object in life, being to minister to the wants and comfort of others.
Prior to her death she made arrangements as to her funeral expressing a wish that the funeral be held in her home, thus indicating the characteristics of her reserve.
About three years ago she united with the Methodist Church of this place. Her consistant Christian conduct in a prayerful life and sympathetic ministration of others, her loyalty to the church in keeping with her substance entitle her to be classed with those whose lives are crowned in glory.
