MRS. MARGARET DAY
The many friends in this city and county were painfully shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Margaret Day, which occurred at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Wilson, in this city on Friday afternoon, April 8, 1904.
For the past two years she had been ill with heart and lung trouble, but her condition had not been considered serious until the past few months. Her husband passed away only a few weeks ago and since that time her health has rapidly declined.
Brief funeral services were held at the home of her parents on Sunday afternoon at one o'clock, conducted by Rev. B. F. Miller, and the remains were then taken to Salem church in Benton township, where services were held at three o'clock, conducted by Rev. Miller of this city and Rev. Carl Brown of Russell. Interment took place in the Salem cemetery. The last sad rites were attended by a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends and the floral tributes were profuse and beautiful.
Miss Margaret Ellen Wilson, daughter of Francis and Adeline Wilson, was born in Benton township, this county, on January 7, 1860.
She was married to M. H. Day in 1894 and after a year's residence in Chariton they moved to the H. H. Day farm one mile north of Chariton where they made their home until the death of Mr. Day on March 23 this year. Mrs. Day was then brought to the home of her parents in Chariton.
She has been a faithful and consistent member of the M. E. church for many years and was highly regarded by all who knew her. She was quiet and unassuming in manner, pleasant and courteous and of a genial disposition. She numbered her friends by her acquaintances and her death is mourned by all.
She is survived by her parents of this city and a brother, J. M. Wilson of Ottumwa, and a sister, Mrs. Will Clark of Chariton. Two brothers died in childhood. To those who are bereft the deepest sympathy of the community is extended.
