27 September 1917 - West Branch Times

Cynthia Ann Gruwell, daughter of Moses and Ann Gruwell, was born in Stark county, Ohio, Sept 15, 1837, and departed this life, Sept. 23, 1917, at her home in West Branch, at the age of 80 years and 8 days.

When 17 years of age she moved to Iowa. Out of her father's family of eight children, two remain, Samuel C. Gruwell of West Branch and Mary Edmundson of Coupeville, Wash. She was married September 12th, 1856 to Luke Enlow, who passed to his eternal home March 22, 1894. The first twelve years of their married life were spent in Hardin Co. Iowa. They then moved to a farm north of town and remained there until the fall of 1892 since which time their home has been in West Branch.

Two daughters, Dora and Ethel have preceeded their mother in death. The other three children remain to mourn her loss, James Walter, Mary Ella and Esther Belle White all of West Branch. There also are five grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Early in life she gave her heart to Christ and soon, after her marriage united with the Friends church. She has been a devoted and earnest Christian, throughout the years and a faithful and valued member of the church of her choice.

For two years and three months sickness has been her lot and she has borne the suffering with great patience relying in Christ, upon the God of her salvation.

The funeral was held at the Friends Church Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 24th at two o'clock. The sermon was preached by Rev. W. J. Hadley of Iowa Falls. The burial was in the West Branch cemetery.

Geo. Gruwell of Estherville, and I. T. Enlow of Des Moines, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Negus and Mr. and Mrs. Anders Mather of Springdale were present from out of town.
