Dakota County Herald Thur Apr 26, 1917


Mrs. Elizabeth C. Leedom

Mrs. Elizabeth C. Leedom, more familiarly known to many of us
as "Grandma" Leedom, passed away at the home of her son, Fred
Leedom, in Omadi precinct April 19, 1917, age 83 years, 11
months and 15 days.
   She was born in Butler county, Pennsylvania, May 4, 1833,
where she spent her girlhood days, and was married to J. F.
Leedom, October 24, 1850. They moved to Humboldt county, Iowa,
in 1868, and in the spring of 1876 located in Dakota county,
where she resided until called in death.
   Mother Leedom experienced many of the trials and hardships
incident to pioneer life, and always met every condition with
that placid, even temperament with which she was endowed. Her
husband preceded her to that other world June 8, 1913. Since
his death she had gradually failed in health, until the final
summons came, and she cast aside her earthly burdens and 
entered into that eternal sleep that knows no awakening.
   She is survived by three daughters--Mrs. Jennie M. Way,
of San Jose, Cal; Mrs. Margaret A. Tobey, of Watertown, SD;
Mrs Belle Bachart, of this place; and five sons-- Geo. W.
Leedom, of Dallas, SD; Boyd S. Leedom, Gordon, Neb.; Joe
M. Leedom, Ponca, Neb.; Fred F Leedom, of this place, and
Eugene E. Leedom, of Orange City, Iowa. She is also survived
by three brothers--M. C. Thorn, of Emerson, Neb.; John B. and
A. B. Thorn, of Humboldt, Iowa.
   Funeral services were held from the Methodist Episcopal
church in this place Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock,
conducted by Rev F J Aucock. Burial was in the Dakota City
cemetery.
