Ledyard Doctor Bereaved
Mrs. Dr. Judson Laughlin Died Evening of Thanksgiving Day. Demise Totally Unexpected.
Had been Ill Only a Brief Space and Was Not Considered to be in a Very Serious Condition.
Ledyard, Iowa, November 28, 1910: -- the news of the death at the Algona Hospital last Thursday evening of Mrs. Dr. Judson Laughlin came as a great surprise and shock to her many friends in Ledyard. While it was known that she had not been in the most robust health for some weeks, yet but few realized the seriousness of her condition and no one in the village was prepared for the news of her sudden death. Lack of blood was the cause of her demise, her blood having turned to water.
Deceased was a faithful and loving wife and mother, ever ready to help fight life’s battles for those she loved. During her residence among us she has made many warm friends who loved and admired her for her fine womanly qualities and beautiful character and it is hard for them to realize that the dear friend who but a few days ago was among them as usual now lies in the city of the dead. It seems strange and sad that she should be called to the great beyond, leaving, as she did, five little children who so much need the loving care that only mother can bestow upon them. But she is gone and only the healing power of time can lessen the sorrow and pain caused by the vacant chair and the absence of that dear form.
Facts Concerning Life.
Anna Stinson Roy was born in Marion County, Mo., July 5th, 1870, being 40 years of age at the time of her death. She was the daughter of Fantley J. and Vienna Roy, and one of the youngest of a large family of children. She was educated in the public schools and at Centenary college. The greater part of her life before her marriage was spent in the home of her brother, William, who ably filled both the role of elder brother and second father to her.
Early in life she was married to Dr. Judson Laughlin who together with four sons and one daughter are left to mourn the loss of a loving wife and mother. The surviving children are as follows: Berney Roy, aged 12; James Byron, aged 10; Geraldine Vienna, aged 9; Judson Merrill, aged 7 and William R., aged 5. The eldest child, Lucile died when about 2 years of age.
She has six surviving brothers as follows: William Roy of Spokane, Wash., John W. of Carthage, Mo., Thomas G. of Kansas City, Mo., Lewis H. of Front Royal, Va., Sidney J. of Hannibal, Mo., and Reuben F. [innell] of New London, Mo.
The out-of-town relatives who were in attendance at the funeral were: her brothers, Sidney J. and Reuben F., of Mo., Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Murray of St. Joe, Mo., and Mrs. Abbie Parsons of Milwaukee, Wis., the latter named being a sister of Mr. Laughlin.
Was a Faithful Church Worker.
Early in life Mrs. Laughlin became a member of the Church of the Disciples and when she came to Ledyard, she joined the U. B. church, of which she was an active member as well as being a member of the Ladies’ Aid Society.
The Woodman Lodge, of which Mr. Laughlin is a member, had charge of the funeral arrangements and a great deal of credit is due the boys for their brotherly assistance and floral offerings.
Brief services in the church, conducted by Rev. C. S. Gowin, assisted by Rev. O. H. Holmes of Algona, were held Saturday afternoon at 3 o’clock. The remains were shipped to College Springs, Ia., where they were tenderly laid to rest in the Laughlin family lot.
The friends of the family who are legion in this community, sympathize deeply with the doctor and his motherless children in their bereavement.
