Jonson Place of Burial: Prairie Rose Date of burial: 25 June 1909 Undertaker: W.H. McCoy Address: Conway Adams County Free Press, 8-4-1909, apparently reprinted from the Burlington, Ia. Hawkeye: Mrs. Daniel LEONARD, of Corning, was borne to the grave by her six stalwart sons a few days ago. If that had happened in*ancient Grei ee or Rome a few thousand years ago, everybody would be familiar with the story and there would be endleHS references to the proud matron and her fine sons. A.B a mutter of fact, the people of ancient times were exactly like the people of to-day, and the famoua Roman mother; Cornelia, who 13 lauded to the akiea because she pointed out her children as her jewels, is the counterpart of every true mother in our times. And while there are many who pretend to be eminently and purely practical, there is as much romance and as much sentiment in the world as ever before, and the story of the good womaa of Corning, who was borne to her last resting place by the six eons who had delighted in honoring her all the days of their lives, needs but the telling hy the one who has that art to make it as effective and to make it live as long as any of the beautiful tales that have come down ^o us from ancient times.?
