      DEATH OF PLAINFIELD GIRL

      Miss Lulu Belle Vosseller Passed Away at Oakdale August 30 After Lingering Illness

      Miss Lulu Belle Vosseller was born on Maple Grove Farm, in Polk township, Bremer county, Iowa, Nov. 18, 1876, and died at Oakdale, Iowa, on August 30, 1922. She was a daughter of Smith N. Vosseller, who preceded her in death in 1920. Her home has always been in and about Plainfield, Iowa.

      She received her education in the home schools and the Iowa State Teachers College of Cedar Falls, and for twenty consecutive years was a teacher in the public schools of her native state, periods of which Were in surrounding rural schools, including the village of Horton, her home town of Plainfield and lastly in Nora Springs, Iowa, for eight consecutive years.

      Miss Vosseller had been a patient in Oakdale Hospital for over seven years last past, and was there confined to her bed most of the time. She made considerable recovery from her tubercular lung affliction during these many long years of heroic effort on her part, but finally died from kidney trouble in complication, all in the face of the wonderful hospital care, medical skill, and kindly careful nursing to he had in this Oakdale Sanatorium, which at the time of her death was a record effort of this hospital institution, measured from the standpoint of protracted time.

      Miss Vosseiler was a member of the Plainfield Baptist church, and lived a highly Christian life. She was also a member of the Royal Neighbors of America, and the Rebeccas. She grew to be highly angelic in spirit with the passing of the years in Oakdale, was exceedingly hopeful at all times and exercised a mission of spiritual cheer, comfort, and relief towards her fellow hospital patients, in all of which Oakdale made extended use of her endowments, including her ability to do vocational training among the hospital patients. She valued Dr. Scarbrough and his family among her very best friends.

      She is survived by her beloved mother, Mrs. Emma F. Vosseller, of Plainfield, and three faithful sisters. Mrs. W. W. Taylor of Plainfield, Mrs. F. H. Boyd of Horton, and Mrs. Jessie A. Stanley of Charles City. Including an extended issue of other relatives, a large number of admiring public school children, now rapidly growing into manhood and womanhood and entering into the activities of life, and otherwise a long list of very dear friends and acquaintances, whom she has very naturally acquired.

      Funeral services were from the home of Mrs. W. W. Taylor to the Baptist church in Plainfield, and interment was made in Willow Grove cemetery, with Rev. C. F. Brown officiating, and included the ritual services of the Royal Neighbors at the grave.
