Tamar Forsythe was born at Jackson Center, Ohio, February 1, 1840, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Orpha Wells, of Riverside, Cal., September 19, 1921.
She was one of six children born to Eli and Tamer Bond Forsythe, - three sons, Levi, John and Austin; and three daughters, Sarah Susan and Tamer. Her father's family went to Welton, Ia., in 1862. Here Tamer met Lewis Alexander Loofboro to whom she was married July 8, 1862. To them were born five children, Chase A., who was deceased September 19, 1920, Stella; Amelia who died December 31, 1887; Sadie and Orpha.
In her girlhood Tamar, during a revival meeting at Jackson Center, Ohio, made a public profession of faith in Christ and joined the Seventh Day Baptist church. On her removal to Welton she entered into the Christian fellowship and activities of the church at that place and continued a devoted member so long as she lived. Her loyalty to the Bible, the church, and to Christian principles was a beautiful characteristic in her life and furnished a striking example of those whose ways are ordered of God and who delight in his precepts. Her quiet, dignified, genial manners made friends for her everywhere she lived.
Since 1916 she made her home with her daughter at Milton, and it was during a visit to her daughter at Riverside that she passed away. She is survived by her daughters, Mrs. Stella Boss, of Milton; Mrs. Sadie West, of Nortonville, Kan.; and Mrs. Orpha Wells, of Riverside, Cal. There remain also an aged sister, Mrs. Susan Loofboro, of Milton, and a brother, Austin Forsythe, of Welton.
Memorial services were held at Riverside conducted by Mayor Porter. Her remains were brought to Milton for interment. Brief services were held beside the grave, June 9, 1922, conducted by Pastor Jordan. H. N. J.

Note: Records of the SDB Church at Milton indicate that the family moved their memberships from Welton to Milton in 1888.

Lewis A. Loofboro was born in Shelby Co., Ohio, Aug. 17, 1838, and died of pneumonia in Portland, Oregon, July 5, 1905.
For about fifty years he had been a resident of Welton, Iowa, being one of the leading citizens of the community, and one of the leading and influential members of the Welton Seventh-day Baptist church. He was deeply interested in all departments of Christian work and a willing helper, both by personal labor and financial support. He was genial in temper and kind in all relations in life. July 8, 1862, he was united in marriage with Miss Tamar Forsythe, who survives him. One son and three daughters, two brothers, a sister and a large number of other relatives, remain to mourn their loss. The respect with which the community in which he resided regarded him was attested by the large attendance at the funeral services held at Welton church, July 11. The remains were taken to Milton for interment. In his death the community, his family and his church have suffered an irreparable loss. G. W. B.
