Hudson Tribune (S.D.)
Mrs. Odell, while in apparent good health, was stricken down with spasms last Sunday afternoon, immediately becoming unconscious, and although the best medical service to be had was recurred, she remained in a comatose state, until death released her from the unconscious suffering.
Ita James was born at Lone Rock, Wis., on May 20, 1872. She with her family lived in Wisconsin until she was 11 years of age, when they moved to Artesian, this state. They resided there for about 7 years, going from there to Sioux City where they lived for about a year. She came from Sioux City here and spent the winter with friends, and during that time the family returned to Wisconsin and she soon followed.
On Jan. 27, 1892, she was married to M. R. Odell and returned to Hudson where they have since lived. She was a bright, vivacious, accomplished, and loving woman; a faithful wife and kind mother; a friend to everybody and loved and respected by all who knew her.
She leaves to mourn her untimely death, a broken hearted husband, a sweet little baby girl three years old, a devoted step-son, loving father, mother, three brothers and a host of friends.
