Mrs C Bleakly Expires in Home, Where she Came as Bride Years Ago. The funeral of Mrs C Bleakly, a pioneer citizen of Silver Creek township, was held Tuesday afternoon on the lawn of her late home at Silver Creek center, in charge of Rev Mr Schulte, of Galva, who was assisted by Rev Havinghurst of Schaller, who gave the sermon, and by Rev Mr Farnham of Odebolt. Mrs Bleakly was buried in Ida Grove cemetery beside her husband, who preceded her in death four and a half years ago. Among those from a distance who attended her funeral were Mr and Mrs Lewis Bleakly of Glendive, Mont, Mr and Mrs Robert Bleakly of Storm Lake, Mr and Mrs William Strahan and daughters of Denison, Mr and Mrs W F LaGrange of Ames, C H Bleakly of Des Moines, Mr and Mrs Orrin Goodrich of Jefferson. Margaret Robinson was born near Ryan in Delaware county, Iowa, April 30, 1857 and died July 7, 1935 at the age of 78 years, 2 months and 7 days. She was reared in the community of her birth, attending the country school and for a term Upper Iowa University at Fayette. On January 22, 1880 she was united in marriage to Christopher Bleakly and they immediately came west to the prairies of Ida county where they established a home in Silver Creek township. While assuming to the full the duties that went with the life of a pioneer wife and mother, she found time for outside interest and became a charter member of the Silver Creek church and was one of the founders of the Woman Foreign Missionary society branch of that church. She was president of this society for a number of years. Her interest in church and home never lagged and she never forgot the pioneer hospitality even when modern conveyances reduced the distances from towns. Rare were the instances when a stranger was turned from the door. He received a meal and lodging whether deserving or not. She died in the same home to which she came as a bride more than 55 years ago. She kept her home in Silver Creek, though in later years she spent some time in southern California. Since the death of her husband, January 4, 1931, she has made her home, first with her son-in-law, D J Bennett in Schaller and at the last with her son David on the old home place. Seven years ago she suffered a stroke from which she never recovered. But in spite of impaired faculties she retained a lively interest in the life about her. Mrs Bleakly was the mother of nine children, two dying in infancy. Five children and thirteen grandchild survive. The children are James of Ida Grove, Sarah and Francis of Schaller, David of Galva and Lewis of Glendive, Montana. Two daughter preceded their mother in death, Mary, Mrs W A Noll and Ruth, Mrs D J Bennett. Two brothers survive, John of Elgin, Neb, and Alex of Manchester, Iowa.
