She was left an orphan early in life and felt the need of a good education to qualify herself for a business woman. She graduated from the common schools and at once entered the Tangier High School, graduating with the class of 1916, with Minnie Elles Pickard as superintendent. She entered Commercial College at Terre Haute and made good securing a splendid position as Stenographer with the Pennsylvania R.R. System which position she filled with credit. A little more than a year ago her health began to fail. She was brave, hopeful and cheerful and submitted to three operations hoping she might regain her health, but the last operation proved too much for her weakened condition. Everything that loved ones could do was done for her, but to no avail. At 3:30 she answered the call to come up higher. At the age of a little more than twenty-five years, just in the prime of life, full of bright hopes for the future, ambitious and industrious she passed over. We cannot understand why one so young, bringing sunshine wherever she went should be so suddenly called. We realize the voice is stilled, the places vacant in the home, and we are left to mourn and say, "Thy Will Be Done." Sometime we'll better understand, "God knows all about those who love her how bitter their tears must be and right through it all He is loving, and knows so much better than we." She was a birthright member of the Friends Church, and at a revival meeting at the Presbyterian church at Howard some years ago, accepted Christ as her personal Savior, and in a letter to a friend Monday, said: "I go to the hospital for an operation tomorrow, if I do not live through it, I am happy in the thought I am ready to go, but I'm hoping to be real strong soon." Elsie had a beautiful voice and often sang at church and other places, to the pleasure of her friends. She held membership in Erwin W. R. C., the Eastern Star, the church Aid Society, the Daisy Chain Club, and Vigo Lodge No. 1197 Brotherhood of Railway Clerks and was very popular among their associates as beautiful flowers will attest. Before going to the hospital, she wrote a letter to her friend making all arrangements for her funeral services--if the operation was not successful. She fully realized in the midst of life we are in death and we know not what a day or an hour may bring forth. She leaves one brother, Guy, two sisters, Mrs. Maurice Turner of New Richmond and Edith at the home, with many relatives and friends to mourn their loss. We will think of Elsie as being away with father and mother, brother and sister the greater part of the family safely housed, where comes no goodbyes--only waiting the loved ones here as one by one they cross over. Rest Sweetly Rest The funeral services were in charge of Rev. David Commons, assisted by the Rev. Noah Dixon. Mrs. Frank Anderson had charge of the music. The bearers of the pall were B.F. Stephen and Verne Pickard of Rockville, Gerrey and Fred Parrent, Tangier, Fred Johnson and Fay Gore, Terre Haute. Color bearers for Erwin Corps: Armilda and Wanetah Marks, Estella Mendenhall and Ora Ephlin. Thos who carried the beautiful floral pieces were: Kate Kiger, Nina Hadley, Fay Ray, Retha Woods, Mildred and Ruth Jackson and Maxine Bryant. The body was laid to rest in the Rush Creek cemetery, the grave a bed of flowers. =================================
