TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1920 Pg 10 La Porte City, Feb. 17.—The death of Mrs. Fred Broad occurred shortly after 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon [Feb 14, 1920], at her home in Spring Creek township eight miles northeast of this city. About 10 days ago she was stricken by the "flu" and within a short time pneumonia developed, and not withstanding the best effort of medical skill and faithful ministrations of loved ones, she passed away. In the death of Mrs. Broad the community mourns with the sadly bereft young husband and the parents and other near and dear ones. Born and reared to womanhood in Spring Creek township she was widely known. Josie Purdy, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Purdy, was born March 4. 1894 and was married to Fred A. Board March 22, 1913. They at once established a home on a farm, but a few years later purchased the present home farm where many plans were being made for future improvements. Mrs. Broad was an active member of the Wesleyan Methodist church of that vicinity and had a deep Christian faith and a heavenly vision was revealed to her as she approached the crystal shore and passed to the great beyond with a smiling face. In addition to the husband and two children [Burl & Maurice], Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Purdy, parents and Floyd Purdy, brother, with a host of friends will ever revere her memory. Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon, with a short prayer service at the late home and also at the grave, in charge of her pastor, Rev. Mr. Youngblood, assisted the Rev. Mr. Hiner. Burial was in the Spring-Creek cemetery. Contributor: Douglas Purdy (49390276) • [email protected]
