Following is the obituary as read:
Eleanor Ling, daughter of Thomas and Delilah Ling, was born near Beulah church, Poweshiek county, May 23, 1867, and passed away peacefully at her home in Montezuma, August 14, 1931, aged 64 years, 2 months, and 22 days. The deceased was a very loving, kindhearted mother in her own family, and then in the families of her children. She raised a large family and to it she devoted her whole life. Always ready to help any one in sorrow and need, among her friends and neighbors.
She was united in marriage to Homer E. Sanders. To this union thirteen children were born, ten of whom survive. Those who mourn her loss are her husband, Homer E. Sanders, her sons, Will, Irwin, and Arthur Sanders of Montezuma, John and Edgar Sanders of Barnes City, and her daughters, Blanche Landers of Barnes City, Delilah Hartsock of Ottumwa, Nina Blaise of Newark, Mo., Lourie Reed and Lovella Bingar of What Cheer. Two sons, Tommy and Clyde one daughter, Mary and a granddaughter, Eleanor Reed preceded her in death. There are 29 grandchildren besides nieces and nephews; three sisters and three brothers, Mary Woods of Seattle, Wash., Celistia Kibbe, Hereford, Texas, Kittie and Russell Ling of Barnes City, Dick Ling of Burlington, and John Ling of Glenwood.
Her last illness was of three weeks duration. All that loving hands and tender care could do was good for her. She will be missed by a wide circle of friends and loved ones.
"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved was stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled,
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love had given
And though the body moulders here
Their souls are safe in Heaven.
