From Odebolt Chronicle October 15, 1931
AGED MOTHER CALLED TO LAST HOME
Mrs. Hannah Paul, Revered
and Honored, Passed
Away Monday
The passing of Mrs. Hannah Paul about 3:00 o'clock Monday morning, October 12, took from
this community one of the sainted mothers in Israel, and one who was loved and honored, not
only by her own family, but by all who knew her.
Mrs. Paul or "Grandma Paul as she was lovingly called by her family and friends, has been
failing in health gradually for some time, but continued to be in her place in Sunday school
and church as regularly as her strength permitted. Six weeks ago she suffered a fall, and while Injured but slightly, seemed unable to rally from the effects of the shock in her weakened condition. She has gradually grown weaker from that time until the end. Everything
that could possibly be done to make her last days comfortable and happy has been
done, and she went peacefully to sleep and to rest.
Funeral services were held in the Methodist church at 2:00 o'clock yesterday afternoon, with
her pastor, Rev. J. A. Farnham conducting the service. Appropriate hymns were sung
by R. O. Lindskoog, Mr and Mrs Harry Hanson, and Miss Minnie Kessler, with Mrs. J. L. Bruce as accompanist.
She was carried to her last resting place in the Odebolt cemetery by the side of her husband by six grandsons: Arloe, Veryl, Lyle, Archie and Milton Paul, and Walton Sargesson.
Hannah Biddick was the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mathew Biddick, and was born in St. Issey Parish, Cornwall, England July 15, 1844. At her death she had reached the age of eightyseven years, two months, and twenty-seven days.
The family came to the United States In 1850, settling first in Platteville, Wis, later moving to
the town of Mifflin. In the fall of 1865 she was united In marriage with William C. Paul at
Platteville, and In 1871 they moved to Concord township, Harden county, Iowa. They were the first settlers In this township In the spring of 1893 the family moved to Wheeler township, this
county, locating on the farm now occupied by her son, C. A . Paul
In 1901 Mr. and Mrs. Paul retired from the farm life and moved to town, to the home where
Mrs. Paul has since lived. The following year, November 6, 1902, Mrs. Paul lost her companion,
and her home has been with her son, M. H. Paul and family. Mrs. Paul was the mother of
five children, four of whom grew to maturity, Ella (Mrs. Payne Sargesson), Charles A. Allie J.,
Harry W., and Myron H. Only Charles and Myron, both of Odebolt,
survive. There are twenty-six grandchildren, and fourteen great grandchildren, and two aged
sisters. All of the grandchildren except six were at the funeral.
In early womanhood Mrs. Paul united with the primitive Methodist
church In Platteville. When they moved to Iowa, there being
no church In the community, they helped to organize a Sunday school In a school house. When they came to this county they became members of the Methodist church, and Mrs. Paul has
continued faithful to her church throughout her long life. She was a loved member of the Women's Bible class, and of the Missionary societies, and could always be depended on for the support of all departments of the church work, giving her presence whenever possible.
The following .words written as the obituary for the mother
of Mrs. Paul, were read by Rev. Mr. Farnham at the service. Every word could be said of our
loved "Grandma Paul. "As a Christian she was consistent in her profession, being a
devoted follower of her Lord and Master. She was always at her post if possible. The religion
which she professed shed its hallowed beams on the actions of her life, Not only on Sundays, but also on week days. Her life exemplified the Grace of God. Neither summer nor winter knew any alteration of her mind. She pressed toward the mark for the prize.
She improved the short days of her life, and at last gained the "Well Done" of her father in heaven. As a wife and mother, she was worthy of imitation. She did her duty to her family, always seeking their happiness and comfort. As a neighbor she was beloved and esteemed by all who knew her and those who knew her best, knew best how to value her friendship.
As a church we feel that one of our faithful members has fallen. A mother in Israel is gone and we deeply fee our loss. Relatives from out of town who were here for the funeral were Etolle Paul from Des Moines, Arloe Paul from Ames, Thelma Paul from Cedar Falls, Veryl Paul from Sioux City, Mr. and Mrs John Reilly, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sargesson, Minneapolis, Mrs. Ted Reilly of Merrill, Mrs C. F. Cleary of Sioux City, Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Larson of Fairmont, Minn, Mrs Eliza Knowles of Hubbard, Mrs. Sanford Mcintyre of Ida Grove
Friends were Mrs. A. J. Irwin and H. E. Russel of sac city and Mr. and Mrs C. L. Wade of Lake View.
