Mina Iona beman was born in Decorah, Iowa, September 4, 1885, and lived there and at Cresco, Iowa until the fall of 1903 when she went to Eaton Rapids, Mich., to attend school. While she was there her parents moved to this community and she joined them about a year ago, since which time she has been confined to her home more or less with that dread disease which finally called her to her last resting place. She leaves a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. W.D. [wrong initials, vh] Beman, and several borther and sisters to mourn her loss. The people of this community will rejoice with her in her infinite gain, while they extend sympathy to the loved ones who remain to mourn her.
