Sayre, were held this morning at nine-thirty o'clock from the home of her daughter Mrs. M.B. Light, 313 East Tenth Avenue. The home was filled with a large gathering of her personal friends and of friends of the family to pay their tributes of love and respect to her memory. The floral tributes were unusually beautiful and many pieces being sent from friends from Long Beach, Pasadena, Calif., and from Wabash, Indiana, her old home. Rev. J.M. McClelland of the First Methodist Episcopal church officiated and his remarks were very beautiful and appropriate and were in keeping with the beautiful life of the deceased. Mrs. George McNeish sang "The City Foursquare" and "Crossing The Bar." She was accompanied by Mrs. E.H. Pierce at the piano. The pall bearers were L.C. Barnard, Lewis Boys, H.J. Wright, A.F. Dauber, H.E. Kibbe, D.H. Sickafouse. The banks of the city out of respect closed during the hour of the funeral. The body was laid to rest beside that of her husband in Union cemetery. The following sketch was read by Rev. McClelland: Eliza J. Spear was born in Quincy, Massachusetts, April 18, 1841, the daughter of Elisha and Jane Spear of Colonial ancestry. While quite young, her family removed to Munieir, Indiana, and there she grew to womanhood. She was married to Charles Dewey Sayre on Christmas Day, 1861. This union was not broken for fifty-one years, until the death of Mr. Sayre in July 1912. Their Golden wedding anniversary was celebrated at the home of their daughter, Mrs. C. M. Turner, in Terre Haute, Indiana. To this union four children were born, two of whom died early in life and two daughters survive their mother at this time. Mrs. C.M. Turner of Terre Haute, Indiana, and Mrs. M.B. Light of Winfield, Kansas. Mrs. Sayre is the grandmother of five children and a great grandmother of eight. Winfield was her home. She and her husband having moved to Winfield from California in 1903. Besides her children and grandchildren, one sister survives, Mrs. S.V. Pryor, who is now in Long Beach, California. The immediate cause of her death was congestion of the lungs which only lasted a few days,as her eighty-four years, two months, and twenty days, was too great to resist the attack. She was a devout christian and her belief in God and the teaching of his word were firmly implemented in her for many years. When still a young woman, she united with the Presbyterian church and has always been a consistant and firm member of that faith. She will be buried by the side of her husband in Union Cemetery, who preceded her in death in July 1912. Her many friends in Winfield will mourn her departure from this life. She was a fine mother, a warm friend and universally liked and beloved by all who knew her. (transcribed by Judy Mayfield)
