"For a period of 12 years, Mrs. West assisted her husband regularly in his ministry at the Shannon and Cherry Grove Brethren churches, teaching in Sunday school and helping with the music.
"During the years she was an invalid she maintained an attitude of patience, cheerfulness and hopefulness that deeply impressed those who visited her. Throughout her long illness she received the affectionate care of her husband and the afflictiojn which finally claimed her life bound their devotion even more firmly.
"Ida Jane Miller, the fourth daughter of Street C. and Martha Holland Miller, was born May 1, 1871 near Elkhart, Iowa, and at her death was 74 years, 11 months and four days of age.

"Mr. and Mrs.West farmed in the vicinity of Ankeny, Iowa, for a period of 25 years before coming to Mount Morris to become associated with the college in 1915. Mrs. West served as matron for the girls' dormitory for a period of one year and in various other capacities with the school until it closed in 1932.
"On Dec. 23,1939, the Wests observed their golden wedding anniversary at the Mount Morris Brethren church, with more than 200 friends in attendance.
"Surviving besides the husband and two children are three sisters, Mrs. Mary Henderson, Elkhart, Iowa, Mrs. J. Q. Goughnour and Mrs. Etta Hutton, both of Ankeny, Iowa, seven grandchildren and one great-grandchilld.
