At first Mrs. Peterson seemed to be getting along well, but on account of the frail condition of her health, she was unable to stand the physical strain and as a consequence, she was taken in death. She was a young woman of fine character and had just started out in life with its pleasures and its trials and it is indeed sad to think that she has been taken away in the springtime of life, but as is always the case, we must yield to the will of the Ruler of the Universe. The funeral was held from the M. E. church in Lone Tree at 2:30 Sunday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. J. D. O'Dell. The Rebekah lodge of which she was a member, attended in a body and had charge of the service at the grave. A large number of people assembled to pay this last tribute of respect to the memory of this young woman. The pall bearers who were taken from the I O O F lodge membership were as follows: J. E. Ashton, J. H. Henik, Will Herring, F. H. Lenz, W. G. McCullough and Roscoe Plum. The following obituary was read at the church service by the pastor. Elsie Bernice Cline was born in Pleasant Valley Township, Johnson county, Iowa, October 15, 1902 died August 1, 1924. Age 21 years, 9 months and 15 days. She was the youngest child of Jas K and Mima J. Cline. Her entire life was lived in and around the place of her birth. She received most of her education in the school at Lone Tree where she enjoyed the acquaintance of a wide circle of friends. She was united in marriage with Eric Peterson on Dec. 28, 1921. They began life's voyage happily together on the farm and worked together hand in hand, meeting the trials and cares of life with confidence and faith that honest toil should reap its just reward. Mrs. Peterson was never of rugged health, having suffered an attack of scarlet fever in November of l908. She was not strong but tried to be cheerful and hopeful. On July 31st little E. Evelyn Sadie was born to this happy husband and wife who had waited hopefully through the months of expectancy to welcome the arrival of their first born. So this happy mother named her babe and welcomed her father with a glad birthday greeting and all seemed to he doing nicely until complications developed that in just a few hours baffled the skill of the best surgical and medical care. Thus a hopeful young mother sacrifices her life to bring another life into the world to gladden the hearts of the bereaved in this sad affliction. There are left to mourn besides the husband and babe, the father and mother, one sister and the aged grandmother with many relatives and friends who are shocked to know that death has so stealthily stalked into the happy circle to claim his victim. In 1916 she united with the M E church of Lone Tree, where she had been faithful in the Sunday school and all church activities. She was also a member of Hukill Rebekah lodge No 594. The Reporter editor extends sympathy to the sorrowing relatives and friends and in so doing, bespeaks the feeling of the entire community toward this babe, the husband and the parents.
