DEATH CLAIM WORTHY WOMAN AT VENICE

Death invaded the home of C.W. Cowley of Venice, very suddenly last Saturday morning, and snatched from her family Mrs. Cowley. Mr. Cowley awoke that morning to find his wife in the throes of death. Before help could be secured, or anything done for the stricken woman the dark angel had taken her to the great beyond.

The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the family in its affliction, as Mrs. Cowley was a most devoted wife and mother, a good neighbor and a woman whose life was filled with good works. She was beloved and respected by all who were fortunate in knowing her. She was 57 years old.

She leaves her husband, five sons and three daughters. These are C.W. Cowley, the husband, and Ray C., Varsal, C.W., Jr., Allan and Morris; the daughters are Mrs. J.L. Davis, Mrs. A.L. Buchanan and Grace Cowley, all of Venice. She also leaves four brothers and two sisters, John, Charles, Heber, and Truman Wilson, all of Richfield; Mrs. James Brindley of Koosharem and Susan Wilson of Richfield.

Funeral services were held at Venice on Tuesday, and practically the entire populace attended the obsequies,
as well as many from the surrounding towns.

The services were impressive beautiful and consoling, as such services should be for one so worthy as Mrs. Cowley.

The speakers were H.H. Bell of Glenwood, Pres. R.D. Young, J.M. Peterson and A.W. Buchanan of Richfield. The many virtues of deceased were shown, and eulogies pronounced on her life of love, service and sacrifice by the speakers.

Music numbers appropriate and consoling wee given by Miss Heppler, Louis Gardner, Clarence Buchanan, Denton Jackson and his wife, and by the choir.

The services were a tribute to a noble and well beloved woman.
