An article (believed by author to be from a Monroe, Iowa newspaper) on death of Lizzie Pendroy.
Lizzie is buried in Monroe Iowa in Silent City Cemetery.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Pendroy will be pained to learn of the death on last Saturday the 13th , after but a few days illness, of their daughter Lizzie, aged 21 years of congestion of the lungs.
The funeral services were held at the house of the parents on Sunday afternoon, and Rev. A., H. Schafer, of Monroe preaching the sermon. A large concourse of friends were present, and with sad hearts accompanied and the remains to their last resting place. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of all.
Sept. 26,1886. Please hand this to your mother. Verses that I copied of Lizzie’s tombstone.
A little while on earth she spent
Till God to her his Angel sent
And then in time she closed her eyes
To wake to glory in the skies.
To Aunt and Uncle- Yours W.T. Young
(Author note: Believe this is William T. Young, son of John William and Nancy (Pendroy) Young, Appears Nancy went to Pendroy North Dakota with all the Pendroys, after husband John Young died in 1883.
