Relatives attending the services were Mrs. Ella Brindley, a sister, and her daughter, Mrs. F. V. Ketner and het son, Herbert Brindley, of Boscobel, Wisconsin. Mrs. Towne's sister, Mrs. Brindley, who has been caring for her the past few weeks, will remain Coon Rapids to manage Mrs. Towne's home hotel. Janet Searles Towne, youngest of eight children, was born October 13, 1879, to Gideon Searles and Mary Elizabeth Welsh Searles on a farm near Boscobel in Grant county, Wisconsin. She attended school at Boscobel and managed a millinery shop there after her fathers death in 1883 and until her mother died in 1907. She then went to Omaha where several years later she married George Lilly. They ranched near Fort Morgan, Colo., and to them was born a daughter who died at the age of seven months. After Mr. Lilly's sudden death she ranched alone for several years before going back to Omaha, to live with a sister. In 1929 she married J. K. Towne and they lived for a time in St. Louis before moving to Coon Rapids seven years ago. Following Mr. Towne's death about two years ago, Mrs. Towne went to Wisconsin to live with her sister, Mrs. Brindley, until a year ago when she bought her residence on Main street here and opened a home-hotel. She was a member of the Home Culture club, the Nazoda club and the Order of the Eastern Star. Mrs. Brindley is her only remaining sister. Two sisters died in infancy; a sister Mrs. F . M. Parmenter died in 1922, and another, Mrs. George Warner, in 1929. A brother, W. W. Searles, died in 1930, and another, William L. Searles about three years ago. His only child, Esther Searles, of Washington, D. C, was here about a week ago to visit Mrs. Towne.
