In the death of Mrs Mary Arbuckle another name is stricken from the ever lessening roll of our old settlers and a lonely home is left to attest how sadly she will be missed. She was an old lady of generous impulses and never forgot the hospitable ways of the pioneer. How much this community owes to her and such as she it is impossible to estimate. In her various characters of wife, mother, neighbor and friend she lived nobly and reared an estimable family to emulate her virtues.
Mary Bryson was born at Strathaven, Scotland, March 9, 1882, and died at her home in Villisca Sunday, May 15, 1910, aged 88 years, 2 months and 6 days. She was married to James Arbuckle June 20, 1845, and to this union were born eleven children, five of whom are left to mourn the loss of a sainted mother. They are: Rev J.C. Arbuckle of Columbus, Ohio; Mrs J.S. Kendrick, six miles north of Villisca; Mrs C. H. Wise, five and one-half miles southeast of Villisca, and W.B. Arbuckle and Eva of this city. She leaves also three sisters: Mrs Janette Hamilton of Bedford, Iowa; Mrs Margaret West of Tempe, Arizona; and Mrs Elizabeth Burnside of this city and a host of friends and relatives who with the family mourn the loss of one who spent her life in service for others.
After her marriage Mrs Arbuckle and her husband made their home in Glasgow, Scotland, for five years, sailing from that city for America August 23, 1850, they being the first of either family to leave for the new world. They landed at New York, October 2, 1850, being six weeks on the water. During the voyage across the infant son died and they buried him in the bosom of the broad Atlantic. They came first to Kanawa county, West Virginia, making their home there for over a year when they moved to Highland county, Ohio. In the fall of 1858 they, with six other families, came from Ohio to Iowa, making the journey with wagons. In 1860 they settled on the old farm in Page county, five and one-half miles southeast of Villisca, where they resided until the spring of 1889 when they moved to the home one mile east of town. Here the husband and father died in November 1893. The next spring Mrs Arbuckle with her family came to Villisca where she has since resided.
In early life she became a christian, uniting first with the Presbyterian church in Scotland and after coming to Iowa she united with the Christian church of which she was a faithful and devoted member. Her life was one of devotion to her family and she leaves to them the blessed memory of a mother's love and devotion. She never thought of herself but spent her life in service for others and was ever ready to help those in sickness or distress.
The funeral services were held from the Christian church in this city Tuesday afternoon at half past one o'clock, Rev J.K. Driver of the Presbyterian church and Rev Enoch Hill of the Methodist church officiating. Interment was made in the North Grove cemetery eight miles southeast of Villisca.
