The dread disease, which has been afflicting so many in Clarinda lately, secured her for its first victim, her life going out at a little before half past one o'clock yesterday afternoon, after an illness of ten days. While her death was sudden, in a sense, she and her husband feared when she was taken sick that she would never get up. She has always been in good health, but the dread typhoid was too much of a drain on her strength. Funeral services will be held at the home tomorrow at one o'clock, conducted by Rev Cabbage, of Shambaugh, assisted by Rev IlgenFritz. Interment will take place at the Norwich cemetery. Mrs Ferris' maiden name was Columbia King. She was born to Mr and Mrs James K. King, near Connelsville, Pa., on August 28, 1858. When but a girl she removed with her parents to Illinois, and later came to Iowa, in 1869, the family living on the old farm near Norwich. There it was that Columbia met Charles A. Ferris, to whom she was married on February 25, 1875. No children have been born to them, but they have raised two adopted daughters, Araminta and Stella, the daughters of L. M. Ferris, who is a brother of Charles and whose wife was also a sister of Mrs Chas. Ferris. The mother of the girls died when they were quite young, and they have always made their home with their uncle and aunt. Besides the husband and the two girls, Mrs Ferris leaves a mother and father and six brothers and sisters to mourn her loss. They are:--Mrs Shaw, of near Shenandoah, Minnie, who is still at the old home, Jordan, at home, George, of near Norwich, Porte H., of Shenandoah, and Austin, living near home. Besides these there are many other relatives, with friends and acquaintances, who mourn Mrs Ferris' death as that of a good woman who has gone to her heavenly reward. Mrs Ferris was a member of the Church of God for thirty or more years, and was always a faithful and earnest Christian, raising her children and setting them an example such as a true mother should. It is a misfortune to the whole community that such a woman should be taken, but such losses must come and must be borne. The stricken husband and family desire to thank the many kind friends and neighbors who gave them assistance and sympathy in their sorrow.
