Mrs. David Boston
Luna Benway Boston, daughter of James and Maria Benway, was born at Mason City, Ill., on Jan.17, 1875, and departed this life at her home near Woodburn, Iowa, on May 9, 1936, at the age of 61 years, 3 months and 22 days.
Funeral services were held at her late home, conducted by Rev. Manning, and burial was in the Norwood cemetery.
When but three years old deceased came with her parents to town where she grew to womanhood. In young girlhood she united with the United Brethren church, but later placed her membership in the Norwood M.E. church.
She was united in marriage to David Boston on October 5, 1897. T this union seven children were born, two of who, Clell and Otto, preceded her in death, passing away in infancy. Those csurviving are Mrs. Lela Wright, of Des Moines; Clarence Boston, of Almartha, Mo.; Mrs. Mabel Bales, Mrs. Hallie Anderson, of Lucas; and Thos. Boston, of Woodburn.
She had been ill for some time, and all that medical skill and loving hands could do was done to restore her to health, but no avail, and death came as a welcome release from suffering and pain. She was a loving mother, a good neighbor, always ready to lend a helping hand in time of sickness or trouble, as long as her health permitted. She was ready and waiting her Saviour's call.
Her husband, the two sons and three daughters previously mentioned, eleven grandchildren, two brothers and two sisters are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother and sister.
