Arminda was married on March 30, 1893 in Decatur Co., Iowa to James "Jim" T. Tharp. James was born in (1852) and died in (1914). OBITUARY: Decatur County Journal-Iowa ---Thursday, April 5, l9l7—Minnie McGahuey was born in Decatur County, Iowa, in the year l854, and departed this life at her home in Leon, Decatur Co., Iowa, March 29, l9l7. On March 30, l893 she was married to James Tharp, who died about three years ago. Mrs. Tharp has made her home here in Leon for about l2 years. During that time she has endeared herself to all who have come to know her as a modest, virtuous, kind hearted, hard working woman, who never was guilty of shirking a responsibility or duty. All who knew Mrs. Tharp will miss her and because of their high esteem and respect for her, they extend sympathy in this time of bereavement to her surviving three sisters and four brothers, who besides many other relatives and friends, mourn her loss. They are Mrs. Leona Evans, of Mena, Arkansas; Mrs. Minerva McGahuey, of Keosauqua, Iowa; Mrs. Henrietta Norman, of Decatur, Iowa; Budd and Calvin McGahuey, of Oregon City, Oregon; Edward, of Kellerton, Iowa; and Sanford, of Decatur, Iowa. Her spirit has been summoned into the presence of a just God, her memory will be cherished among her friends. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Church, Friday afternoon, March 30, Rev. Moser, of the local church having charge of the services, after which the interment took place in Leon's Cemetery. AN APPRECIATION. When sickness, trouble or any kind of need came to the household of a neighbor or friend, Minnie Tharp was the first to appear and the last to retire. She effaced self and kept in the background, but she saw everything that needed to be done and her willing, capable hands and tireless feet never slacked their ministrations while that need existed. She gave of herself with such unstinted measure that those whose homes she entered as a humble helper, learned to lean upon her as a very tower of strength. And, as the years went by and they learned to fully know and appreciate her faithfulness and devotion; those who employed her came to love her as a dear family friend. And when her own time of need came no woman who has ever lived in our community has so aroused the spirit of reciprocation and helpfulness on the part of these friends of hers, friends who valued her for her good qualities and who today say, with a sense of genuine bereavement, "What shall we do without Minnie? No one can ever take her place." They place on her bier the beautiful flowers she loved so well and with tears of gratitude and affection they take to heart the sorrows of true living which her useful life has imparted; lessons of unparalleled industry, cheerfulness and faithfulness. "Minnie" has passed from their homes and all earthly tasks, but she will live in their hearts for aye.--A FRIEND. In the 1850 Indiana census, shows Arminda's name as Artimissa, aged 13 years. Nothing is really known of this couple, but when I started my research it was said her last name was Thorp or Thorpe, and after a visit to Lamoni, Decatur Co., Iowa, I found that she was married to Jim Tharp.
