• Her obituary was published in the Tipton Advertiser on 15 March 1918 in Tipton, IA.

¹⁵ Kate Wymer was born in Iowa township, Cedar County, Nov. 6, 1866, and died March 2, 1918. She was married to Andrew Linn Feb. 14, 1882.

To this union were born six children--John Wesley of near Tipton, William W., who died when about three weeks old; Mildred M. Richards of Tipton, Earl A., who lives on the home place; Chloe L. Goldsberry of Marion and one son who died in infancy.

Besides her husband and four children she leaves to mourn her loss seven grandchildren and two sisters--Mrs. Margaret A. Spencer of Rochester and Mrs. Alice Mackie of Minott, N. D.

She has been in poor health the last six years, and those of the family and others who came within the home have felt the silent influence of her quiet life. Through all the suffering she was ever cheerful and anxious to help those about her to a better life. The last message left to the family is a heritage beyond estimate to them.

The funeral was held from the Springdale Friends church Tuesday afternoon, in charge of Rev. E. L. Gregory of Arnolds Park, her former pastor, assisted by Rev. Milo Reece. Interment was in Pedee cemetery.
