Read More	Death of Mrs. Jonathan Alderson Well Known Pioneer Passes to the Beyond Mrs. (Agnes) Alderson, the wife of Jonathan Alderson, of Seney, died at her home on Thursday, August 19, 1909, from an internal malady which had menaced her health for some time. A few weeks ago she underwent an operation at the LeMars hospital for relief and sufficiently recovered to be taken to her home, although it was known at that time that her malady was incurable. Mrs. Alderson was a long time resident of Plymouth county, having lived here since the early eighties and was held in he greatest esteem by a very large number of friends. She was a woman of splendid character, an ideal wife and mother, a warm friend and neighbor, zealous in good works, a Christian of the noblest kind, ever ready to succor the distressed or lend a helping hand to those on whom the burden of sorrow was laid heavily. As a slight indication of the respect in which she was held in the community where she lived so long, it may be mentioned that the church in Seney in which the last services were held was wholly inadequate to pay the last tribute to this honored woman. Mrs. Alderson was born at New Diggins, Wisconsin, on June 25th, 1853. Her parents moved to Argyle, Wisc., when she was a young girl. Her maiden name was Agnes Knewstubb. She was united in marriage with Jonathan Alderson, March 18, 1873, and they came to Plymouth County, Iowa, in 1881, settling in Elgin township where they have since resided. Four children survive with the bereaved husband. The children are: Mrs. Elam Chapman of Seney, Mrs. W. D. Kennedy who is at Las Vegas, NM at present, and Sadie and John who live at home. Mrs. Alderson was one of a family of four sons and six daughters and her death breaks the first link in the family circle. The funeral was held at the Methodist Church in Seney, Iowa, on Sunday, Rev. Hartzell officiating, and was very largely attended. The remains were laid to rest in the LeMars City cemetery. Jonathan Alderson is a brother to James, George, and Thomas of this place, William of Omaha, Nebr, and John of Heber, Utah.
