Lenox Time Table | Lenox, Iowa | Thursday, January 05, 1911 | Page 1
Miss Lizzie Smith was born in Henry County Iowa, December 29, 1852, and died at her late home, southeast of Lenox on Sunday morning, January 1st 1911,at the age of 58 years and 3 days. She was the daughter of Sarah K. (Boak) and John S. Smith.
She was united in marriage to T. S. Arthur Brooks in January 22,1874, Henry County, Iowa; two children, one daughter, Mrs. Georgia Sparks of Ellston and one son Mr. Fred Brooks, of Lenox, were born to them.
On September 18th, 1887 she was married to James Edmunds who with one son, Hugh, and two daughters, Francis and Helen survive her.
The deceased professed her faith in Christ as her personal Saviour in early youth and united with the Presbyterian Church in Mount Pleasant, bringing her church membership to the local church on January 29, 1888 from Muscatine and remained in said communion to the time of her death.
Mrs. Edmunds suffered from a severe attack of La Grippe a year ago and she was not able to rally from its effect. Her relatives and friends have realized that that sickness would prove the beginning of the end. The family physician rendered such services as were within his power to give but he soon found the disease rapidly undermining her health by causing complications, which must prove fatal. Eminent physicians were consulted but all agreed that it was only a matter of time. Although the deceased grew much worse about two weeks before her death, she was never bedfast. As the warning light in the eastern sky proclaimed the beginning of the first day ot a new year, her soul departed to that home where changes of time and seasons cease.
Mrs. Edmunds was of a retiring disposition, preferring her home and loved ones to society and its demands. Surrounded by her dear ones, she fell asleep in peace.
The funeral services were held at her late home on Wednesdayafternoon by her pastor, Rev, J. C. Orth and her body was laid to rest in Fairview cemetery. Besides the immediate family, she is survivedby an only sister, Mrs. Mary Ogg of Butler, Mo. To the bereaved husband and sorrowing children a large circle of friends extend their sympathy.
