“GREAT LOSS TO COUNCIL BLUFFS.
“In the death of Mrs. Amelia Bloomer Council Bluffs loses one of its oldest and most prominent residents. She was one of the early pioneers of the west and for many years has been a striking, picturesque character of western Iowa.

Her name has become firmly linked with every reform movement for the uplifting and betterment of woman’s condition during the last fifty years.
