The services were conducted by the Rev. L. E. Ripley and music was furnished by Ray Fields, Bert Smith, Mrs. J. A. Thorson and Mrs. Avis Boswell, accompanied by Miss Edith Bass. Pallbearers were six grandsons: Ivan Swadley, Ira Ballain, Floyd, George, Marion and Worley Lang. Interment was in the Emerson cemetery. The following obituary was read at the services: Catherine Ann Kesterson, daughter of Mary and Charles Kesterson, was born Sept. 21, 1844, near Parrottsville, Tennessee, and died at her home in Emerson Sunday, July 26, 1936, at the age of 91 years, 10 months and 5 days. When she was 10 years of age the family started up the Mississippi river by boat for Iowa and during the journey the mother contracted this disease of cholera and was buried in Illinois on the bank of the river. Arriving in Iowa the father with his six children made their home with their grandparents south of Malvern for two years. Following this time she assumed the duties of a mother to the family, she being the second child. On April 4, 1861, at the age of 16 years, she was united in marriage to John Lang. To this union were born nine children, three sons, Charles, John and Edward, with her husband preceded her in death, Mr. Lang passing away November 10, 1906. They moved to Indian Creek town ship in the spring of 1865 and settled on the open prairie where they built their home three and one-half miles southwest of Emerson. Here for years they engaged in farming. It was through the long hours of patient struggle, toil and, self-denial in those early days when the luxuries and modern conveniences of today were unknown that they reared their family to manhood and womanhood, enduring the many hardships of pioneer life, seeing the country change in its ways from ox teams and covered wagons to stream-lined Zephyrs. She was a member of the Methodist Church, uniting in the early years of life. She was also a member of the Order of the Eastern Star and Women’s relief Corps. She was a wonderful mother and no joy to her was so complete as when her children and grandchildren were with her. She leaves to mourn her departure, six children: Mrs. Barbara Ballain and Frank H. of Emerson, Mrs. Harry Swadley of Palmer, Nebraska, Mrs. Alice Knowles of Santa Ana, California, Walter A. of Malvern and Pearl of Emerson, with whom she has made her home during her declining years; 30 grandchildren, 51 great grandchildren, and 10 great-great grandchildren; three half sisters: Mrs. Zubie Reed of Atlanta, Nebraska, Mrs. Mary Smith of Ashland, Nebraska, Mrs. Ida Triplett of Colorado, and two brothers, William of Malvern and George; of Oregon, and numerous relatives and a host of friends.
