Deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. Joy, who were pioneer residents of Lincoln Township, and was a sister of A.J. Joy, now a resident of Nevinsville, IA, and of the late Frank D. Joy, a resident of Lincoln Township for many years prior to his death in Anita.
Mrs. Chester was the widow of the late E.T. Chester, who passed away many years ago in this vicinity, and they were the parents of one son and one daughter. Her daughter, Mrs. Myers, survives.
