Mrs. V- T. Penny Passes Away

Early Friday morning, Mrs. Nellie Steveson received the sad news of the sudden death of her daughter, Mrs. V. T. (Helen Stevenson) Penny, 46, of Des Moines, Iowa. She passed away Thursday at 5:30 P. M.

Besides her husband she leaves three children, Dolores, who is attending college at Fairfield, Iowa; and Herbert and Sherrie at home; her mother, Mrs. Stevenson and two sisters, Mrs. Gladys Poland also of Des Moines, Iowa and Mrs. Ruth Barker of South Spencer. Her father, one brother and one sister preceded her in death.

The funeral was held Saturday afternoon.

The sympathy of the whole community goes out to Mrs. Stevenson in her sorrow. This is her second daughter she has lost recently, her daughter Nellie having passed away within the past year. She was unable to attend the funeral in Des Moines but expects to leave in October to spend the winter there with her daughter, Mrs. Poland.
