A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday in the Milton Junction S. D. B. church. Dr. Edwin Shaw will give the memorial talk and will be assisted by Rev. J. F. Randolph.
Mrs. West died Tuesday morning in her home after having been ill since last June, most of that time confined to bed. She was prominent in several organizations, especially the W. C. T. U., of which she had served two terms as state president, and the Seventh Day Baptist church, in which she served on the national denominational board.
Hattie Esther Brown was born June 29, 1861 in Brookfield, N. Y., and when she was three years old moved with her parents to a farm near Utica, Dane county. Both the Brown and West families were pioneers of that locality. Later the Brown family moved to Hebron, Ill., where the marriage of Hattie Brown to Allen B. West took place Aug. 27, 1884. They celebrated their golden anniversary here in 1934.
After their marriage they lived in Reedsburg and Lake Mills where Mr. West taught school. They came to Milton Junction in 1906 and have lived here since.
Besides her activities in the W. C. T. U. and the Seventh Day Baptist church, Mrs. West was a member of the Fortnightly club and the D. A. R. but resigned from the latter organization several years ago.
She was active in these organizations and other fields of work until her health failed last year. She was always intensely interested in affairs of the community and country and was ever ready to lend aid to a worthy cause.
She is survived by her husband; one son, Dr. Robert West, Madison; a daughter, Miriam, who teaches in New Brunswick, N. J.; an adopted daughter, Virginia, Madison; three grandchildren; and two sisters, Mrs. Nettie West, Shanghai, China, and Mrs. G. E. Anderson, Milton. Two sons preceded her in death, Carroll B., who was killed in France during the World war, and Allen B., who died in September, 1936.
