OBITUARY - Mrs. Madison W Klotz, one of Columbus Junctions better known and greatly esteemed pioneers, passed away at her home on South Hill the morning of September 11, 1941, following a brief illness.
Lucy Jane Kelley was born in Cedar county, Iowa, near Tipton, November 16, 1852 and was aged 88 years, 10 months, and 11 days. She was the daughter of John B Kelley, a prominent stock dealer and farmer of the Ayersville community and his wife Jane Ford Kelley.
At the age of 16 years she was graduated from the Tipton public schools and soon afterwards was employed as teacher at what was then known as the The White Pigeon School. On December 18, 1869 she was united in marriage to Madison William Klotz of Old Clifton. Mr. Klotz at that time was engaged in the retail dry goods and grocery business.
In 1875 they moved the store and their residence to Columbus Junction, Iowa.
