Funeral services were held at the Wesley M E church on Friday , May 18, at 3 pm , conducted by Rev Floyd Smith of Hastings. Burial in the Wesley cemetery. The following obituary was read at the services. Frances Mudgett was born at Galesburg, Jasper county, Iowa, July 25, 1858 and died at her home in Mills county, Iowa, southeast of Hastings on May 17, 1917, at the age of 58 years, 9 months and 22 days. She was united in marriage to George W Pickerill at Audubon, Ia in February, 1883. Mr and Mrs Pickerill have lived their entire married life in southwest Iowa. To this union six children were born. Four of them survive her. The other two died in infancy and early youth. Besides the husband and four children, a step-son C A Pickerill, living southeast of Hastings, holds her in reverence due a mother, since to him she gave a mother's love without stint. The surviving children are Mrs Addie Quarrey, of Audubon, Mrs Mary Slump, Clarinda, Nelle Pickerill and Miss Orpha, at home. Mrs Pickerill was converted thirty years ago and at that time united with the Christian church. In later years she became a member of Cumberland Presbyterian church, to which she held membership until her death. A home loving woman, a helpful and devoted wife and mother, is the proud testimonial of husband and children. Second wife to George W Pickerill Mrs Pickerill during the past six months had been a invalid from a nervous breakdown. She had taken treatment at a hospital for some weeks previous to her death. On her return friends and family were buoyed with the hope that her health had improved but she did not gain the hoped for health very speedily and this caused her to have spells of despondency. The husband and daughter at home gave her every care that love could suggest. They never for a moment feared any rash ac t form her despondency. Thursday morning she arose quite early and helped in the housework. The daughter then got up and prepared breakfast, thinking her mother had lain down for a short rest. The husband before eating his breakfast, mother, who supposed that she was inquired of the daughter about the taking a rest. Mr Pickerill went upstairs to see if there was any service he could render his wife. /o his sorrow he found her in a closet, lifeless, caused by hanging. She had in her temporary derangement committed the act by trying a cloth around her neck and then suspending herself from a nail, causing strangulation. The affair was a great shock to her family and in the neighborhood where she had many friends in her years of residence in that community. The past has given us a consolation that will help our judgment under the circumstances,stamcees/ Leave all to God, thy vision cannot scan His way of righteousness, His depths of grace; But then shall know, when that dust see His Face How full of holy love, His perfect plan
