She was a daughter of Luke and Eliza Yakel, and was born in Tippecanoe township, Henry county, Iowa, March 15, 1848. Her maiden name was Christena Yakel. She was a member of a family of twelve children, of which only one, Mrs. Mary Bicknell, of Chico, Calif., survives. She grew to womanhood in her native state, where, on March 11, 1869, she was united in marriage to William H. Church. They spent most of their life on a farm ten miles southwest of Mt. Pleasant. Mr. Church died in 1916. Later she moved to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, where she has resided for the last nine years. Mrs. Church was the mother of four sons, Alvin E. Church, Mt. Pleasant; Floyd M. Church, Hillsboro, Iowa; Walter Church, who passed away in 1909, and Harry W. Church of Mt. Pleasant; twelve grandchildren and five great grandchildren, besides many other relatives and friends also survive. At an early age deceased was converted and united with the Round Prairie Baptist church. She remained a true Christian all her days. During her residence in this city she was a constant and faithful attendant at the First Baptist church. Her many friends there will greatly miss her from their number. Her desire was to be able to care for herself to the end of her days, which she was able to do until the last twelve hours of her life, a nurse being called in just a few hours before her departure. She passed away while in a comfortable sleep at 3:30 o'clock on Sunday morning. Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon. Pastor Frank Weston, assisted by Rev. E. C. Vanderpool of Lockridge, Iowa, conducted them. A service was held at the home at 12:30. Then the sorrowing company went to Union church, southwest of this city, which was filled with old friends and neighbors who gathered to show their love and esteem for the good woman who had lived for so many years in their midst. Pastor Frank Weston spoke from Mark 14:8, "She hath done what she could." Pastor Vanderpool read the scriptures and led in prayer. Mrs. Bert Jay, Mrs. Linnie McElwee, Mr. Emery Crane, and Mr. Weston, with Mrs. Harry Thompson as accompanist, sang "Beautiful Isle", "Sweet Peace" and "Sweet Bye and Bye." The pall bearers were E. H. Frazer, E. W. Elliott, Carl Coe, C. T. Barton, D. S. Barton, and Ralph Crane. They tenderly carried the flower covered casket containing all that was mortal of the good woman to her last resting place in the beautiful Lambirth cemetery, where she sleeps among the graves of her loved ones awaiting the summons of the Lord for her to arise at the day of his appearing.
