S. Wolfe, mention of whose death was made in last week's Leader, were held from the home of her brother, C. E. Eacrett, in Malvern, Thursday afternoon, October 25 at two o'clock. Rev. Peter Jacobs, of Council Bluffs, a former pastor conducted the services which were largely attended by her many old time friends and relatives. The pall bearers were Patric Kilmartin. A. P. Kilmartin, Clark Hilton and the three brothers, Charles E., Horace F. and George S. Eacrett. The remains were laid to rest in the Malvern cemetery. The following obituary was furnished us: Laura Eacrett was born at Pittsburg, Pa., January 21, 1853, and died at her home in Omaha, Nebr., Tuesday, October 23, 1923. She had passed the three score years and ten. Her parents were George K. Eacrett and Elizabeth Steele. They came west when she was a small child, locating in Fayette county, Iowa, near West Union. Here she psent her girlhood days. She fully entered into the spirit of the west. She came with the family overland, helping drive the cattle and horses to Mills county. The hardships, dangers and challenges of the pioneer life appealed to her ambitious disposition. The family arrived in Deer Creek township on the fourth day of July, 1873. Western Iowa of half a century ago was considerably different than now. She taught school several terms in Mills and Fremont counties and thjus contributed her share in the young life of those still pioneer days. When a girl and a oung woman, nothing delighted her more than to face the challenges of the pioneer life. She was so active and so ambitious. Her sunny disposition and jovial nature won friends immediately and they loved to be in her presence. There was no outstanding social activity in her community that she did not have a large share in the planning and execution. How vividlyu will come back to thos people her intense zeal and enthusiasm. She was married to William S. Wolfe October 12, 1876. They moved to a farm in Rawls township and made it their home for 33 years. It was here their children were born, George E. and Obrey T. During those three decades and more no people were more active in the social and religious life of the community. She joined the Methodist church at Eldorado, Iowa and shen the family moved to Rawls township she transferred her membership in the Fairview church just north of Tabor. She was most active in the promotion of the work of this organization. The pastors found in her a willing working and a staunch friend. Last winter she read the entire new testament. She was much given to prayer. In 1909 they moved to Tabor and lived there nine years. Mr. Wolfe having purchsed 5 acres in Estes Park, Colorado, they sought the west, thinking it would be of advantage to their health. The altitude proved too high for Mrs. Wolfe's health, so they located in Omaha, purchasing a fine home at 1110 South 60th street. This placed them near to their children and associates of former days. Laura leaves her husband, two sons, five grandchildren, three brothers, Charles E., Malvern, Horace F., of Strahan, and George S. Eacrett, Malvern, four sisters, Lenora A. Wolfe of Glenwood, Rachel A. Shay of Laurel, Mont., Mary G. Smith of Loveland, Colo., Maud F. Burks, of Winner, So. Dak. Mrs. Wolfe suffered an operation last July and owing to her age and general condition of health she had very little hope of recovery. Before going to the hospital she made all her plans in case of her death. It was her special request that Rev. Peter Jacobs, her former pastor, shou ld have charge of the funeral services. To each of the family she left a special message. Malven Leader"
