Old Resident Passes Away

Miss Kate Kettlewell Answers Call; Had Lived in Brooklyn Thirty Years

Kate Haines Kettlewell died Saturday evening at the F. L. Neff home where she had lived for the past 30 years. Three weeks ago Miss Kettlewell, then apparently in the best of health, suffered a stroke of apoplexy from which she never rallied. She was slightly better at various times during her illness but in the last few days it was apparent that she would not recover. Everything possible was done by Mr. and Mrs. Neff and the family but she steadily failed until her end came in the later afternoon.

Funeral services were held from the Methodist church Monday at 2:30 p.m., conducted by the Rev. E. W. F. Holler. Interment was in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. Miss Kettlewell was a loyal member of the Methodist church and of the P.E.O. sisterhood.

Thirty years ago she came to Brooklyn with the Neff family. For twelve years she assisted Mr. Neff in his cafe and bakery. She made many friends while in the cafe and when she retired from business life twelve years ago she was active in the church and P.E.O. She was a kind neighbor and friend and a splendid woman in every way. She will be missed by a large circle of friends.

Kate Haines Kettlewell, daughter of Philo and Catherine Haines, was born in Iowa City Nov. 13, 1860. Her mother dying shortly after her birth, she was taken to the home of her uncle, G.W. Kettlewell, where she became one of their family. For 30 years her home has been with her sister, Mrs. F. L. Neff, where she has been a devoted aunt the Neff children whom she has loved and cared for always.

Those from out of town who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kettlewell of Carson, Ia., Mrs. Paul Teft and baby of Des Moines, Mrs. Will Myers and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hubner and Mrs. McMannis of Iowa City. Grace and Edith Neff came over from Cedar Falls called by the death of their aunt.

Haynes, Katherine Kettlewell

In Iowa City, on the 30th ult., Mrs. Kate HAYNES, formerly Kate KETTLEWELL, of this place. Her sudden death has caused a pang of grief in the hearts of many. For in several relations of daughter, sister, wife and neighbor, she was affectionate, kind and dutiful; and many will long remember Kate as one of those cheerful, sunny, dispositions, that was always happy herself and striving to make those happy with whom she associated. She has left a bereaved companion and an infant daughter to mourn their loss. But we sorrow not as those without hope.
