The four remaining children are Alice, 12; Irene 11; Oliver, 6 and Edith 1 1/2 years of age. Mrs. Fossey was a woman of kind disposition, her first and last thought being the welfare of her children and home. Even tho her health was not very good she never complained. She was a Christian, and often confessed that death had no fear for her. Besides her husband and four children she is surviving by her mother and father and one sister, Mrs. Henry Gaarder of Osage, Iowa.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Moe of Waseca, Minn., and Rev. Walker of Osage, Iowa., at Mona, Wednesday, Aug. 29 and interment was made in Pleasant Hill cemetery.
