Wathen, manager of this memorial, am the 2nd great-grandniece of Edgar's wife, Martha Elizabeth (Stewart) Woolery Schwartz. Her sister, Margaret Alice (Stewart) McMaster, is my 2nd great-grandmother. Central City Republican, Central City, Nebraska, Thursday, 31 October, 1918, page 7, column 3: Edgar Grant Woolery E. G. Woolery passed away at his home at 4226 South 22nd St. South Side, Omaha, on Monday morning, October 21st, at 10:00 o'clock. Mr. Woolery had been ailing for about two years with asthma and on the Wednesday previous to his death he was taken down with an attack of heart trouble from which he was unable to rally. When it was realized that his condition was serious, his son Glenn Woolery was summoned and together with his mother and two younger brothers was with the father when the end came. Edgar Grant Woolery was born at Libertyville in Jefferson County, Iowa on May 14th, 1865, and lived in Iowa until he was forty years of age. He was united in marriage on April 28th, 1890, to Miss Martha E. Stuart. To this union were born three sons, Glenn W., Edgar Mural and Lisle Stuart. The two younger boys are at home with the mother in Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. Woolery came to Nebraska thirteen years ago, and purchased the Gagle farm nine miles north of Central City. They lived there three years and then removed to Central City where they resided until a year ago, when they located to Omaha. Mr. Woolery was a good husband and father, a splendid citizen and a man of fine character, standing high in esteem of all who knew him. He was a prominent member of the Knights of Pythias lodge in which organization he took keen interest. The body was taken to Libertyville and the funeral services were held from the residence of his sister, Mrs. Harley Yost, at 10:00 o'clock Wednesday morning, the Presbyterian pastor being in charge. Mr. Woolery had expressed a desire that the members of the Knights of Pythias lodge should assist at the services. But this wish was difficult to carry out because of the quarantine for the influenza. It was arranged, however, that all the pall bearers should be members of the lodge. Besides his wife and three sons, Mr. Woolery leaves two sisters to mourn his loss, one Mrs. Yost of Libertyville and the other Mrs. Famulner of Union Point, Canada. Mrs. Famulner was not able to be present at the services. Internment was made in the Libertyville cemetery.
