H. Blunderfield June 26 of that year.  To this union were born four children, two girls and two boys.  Mrs. Wm. Jolitz, of Solomon, Emily A..of Talmage, Wm. P. of Chicago, Ill., Fred J. of Solomon.  Besides her husband and children she leaves to mourn her loss four little granddaughters and one brother in England.  She died Saturday, June 15, 1918 at 2:30 a.m.  She became a  member of the Episcopal church in early childhood and on July 31, 1894 she with her husband and two daughters, was baptized by Rev. B.F. Dice and united with the M.E. church at Willowdale.  Since moving to Talmage she placed her letter in the Talmage church.  She is known to her many friends and loved ones as a devoted wife, a loving mother and a consistant Christian.

Funeral services were held at the Talmage M.E. church Monday, June 17 at 2:30 p.m., services conducted by Rev. F. B. Benson and the large number of  friends who were present gave silent sorrowful testimony of the esteem in which she was held.  The casket was covered with beautiful flowers, silent tokens of love in the grief that fills the hearts of those who knew her and loved her.

We are unable to do justice in describing the beauty and devotion of her Christian life of good deeds exemplary to all her associates, and her death was a fitting close to it, dying peacefully without a murmur, secure in the love of the Saviour who had been her solace and strength during her illness -- no murmur or complaint passed her lips during all her suffering with the patience of a true Christian.  The pallbearers who carried her to her last resting place were:  Wm. Doidge, W.D. Fulton, Wm. Koelling, Richard Grice, Wm. J. Fenn, John Bear.  She was buried in the Prairie Mound cemetery at Solomon.
