Obituary ~ Ida (Spurling) Lutz ~ wife of N. G. Lutz ~ Iowa
The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, December 17, 1908
We regret to chronicle the death of MRS. IDA LUTZ, which occurred at her
home in Chariton, Monday morning, about five o'clock. She had been in
failing health for the past two years, and in October suffered a stroke of
paralysis, which rendered her helpless for a time. She was slowly
recovering from the attack when she was taken ill with pneumonia, and only
lived a few days. While her condition was considered serious, her death was
not expected at this time.
She was the oldest daughter of MR. and MRS. WM. SPURLING, was born in Monroe County, July 22, 1860, and at the time of her death was 48 years, 4 months and 24 days of age. She was united in marriage March 12, 1885 to N.G. LUTZ. To this union were born seven children, four sons and three daughters, all residing at home with the exception of one son EARNEST, of Nebraska, who arrived home Tuesday. Beside the husband and children who are bereft of a wife and mother, she leaves a father, three sisters and three brothers, all being present excepting the brothers, BERT who resides in Montana and CYRUS and WILLIS of South Dakota.
She united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in early life and lived a
consistent Christian life, and while her death seems doubly sad on account
of children left without the guidance of a mother's tender care, they have
the assurance that her peace was made with her Maker, and she has gone to
her eternal home.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church, Wednesday at 2 o'clock p
m., conducted by the Pastor, Rev. Lathrop, and the remains interred in the
Chariton Cemetery. The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of the
community in their sorrow.
