Ida Mary Robertson was born April 11th, 1868, in Shelby county, Indiana.  Died at Delta, Colorado, January 26th, 1916, aged 47 years, 9 months, and 15 days.

She came with her parents to Kansas in 1882, and to Elk County in 1884.  She was converted in 1893 and united with the First Baptist church of Howard and remained a faithful and devoted christian until her heavenly Father said, 'Well done faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of the Lord."  She was married to Jacob Wolf October 25th, 1889.  In a few years she was left a widow with one little daughter to care for, now, Mrs. Effie Marie Wolf Wilson of Haskill, Oklahoma.

In her death she leaves to mourn her untimely loss, beside her daughter, four brothers, and one sister, Nate and Frank Robertson of Moline, Will and Ulysses Robertson of Howard and Minnie McClintock of Austin, Colorado, with a number of nephews and neices and a host of friends.

Sister Wolf was a kind and patient mother, a loving, sympathetic and helpful friend, and well may be said of her in the words of the Revelator.  "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth, yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, for their works do follow with them."

Her funeral was preached in the Methodist church at Moline by O.L. Weir, pastor First Baptist church of Howard, on February 3rd, at 2 p.m. assisted by Brother Sutton, pastor of the M. E. Church at Moline, and her body was laid to rest in the Moline cemetery.

May the words of the poet comfort the bereaved.

     "They are not dead
       Whom the Father has taken,
       Tenderly cared for,
       Not lost, nor forsaken;
       Sweetly they rest,
       Whom the morning shall waken.

                             O.L. WEIR
