Mrs. Lively is Called to Rest

Another of the Few Surviving Pioneers of Cedar County Dies At Her Home.

 	Mrs. James H. Lively, one of the few of the original pioneers 
of Cedar county, passed to her reward at 11 O'clock Wednesday evening, 
death coming with scarcely any warning.
 Mrs. Lively had been in very good health, considering her age, and that 
afternoon had attended a birthday party at the home of Mrs. Mary Marks. 
When Mrs. Robert Koch and Mrs. N. Heimes who had spent the evening at her 
home left her at nine O’clock after spending a social evening she seemed 
as bright and well as usual and before midnight she was dead. Death was 
caused to heart failure.

Anna Marie Mallatt was born in Indiana, Oct. 6th, 1861. She was a daughter 
of Mr. And Mrs. Henry Mallatt and when she was six years of age, she and 
her parents traveled by ox team to Cedar County, settling at Waucapona. 
They lived in a log cabin and suffered the trials and hardships known only 
to the earliest pioneer settlers. At that time, the Indians were numerous 
around Waucapona and the settlers from the east lived in terror of them 
most of the time. In 1881 on December 25th she was united in marriage to 
James H. Lively in the log cabin home of the time by Rev. Mr. Gearhart, the 
pastor at St. James.  After their marriage the young couple moved to Spring 
Valley east of Hartington, where they lived until eight years ago when the 
family moved to this city. Mr. Lively passed away in the city five years 
ago.


Three children survive Mrs. Lively, Miss Mattie who has been the constant 
companion of her mother all of her life. Leonard of this city and Mrs. Guy 
Porter of Hartington. One child, Florence, died in infancy. One brother W.H. 
Mallatt and two sisters, Mrs. T.N. Jones and Mrs. Francis Keegan of Wynot, 
also survive. 

Mrs. Lively was a splendid type of pioneer woman and the memory of her kind 
words and continous deeds will live in the hearts of hundreds who knew her 
when neighbors and friends were few and scattered. She was superintendent of 
the Spring Valley Sunday school for ten years, was a devout member of the 
Congregational Church in the city and a faithful member of the Congregational 
Circle.


Mrs. Lively was buried from the Congregational church in this city, Saturday 
at one o’clock and interment was made in the Wynot Cemetery where Mr. Lively 
was laid to rest five years ago. Rev. Louis Hieb was the officiating clergyman 
and the pallbearers were Robert Koch, John Koch, H.R. Morton, Will Ewing, J.B. 
Thompson, and John Dummeil. The honorary pallbearers were Chas. M Jones, L.P. 
Lauritzen, Joe Morton, Joe Ernst, Chris Luken and C.E. Bixby.

The family will have the sincere sympathy of the entire community in this their 
hour of great sorrow.
