ANTHONY IS LAID TO REST Long Life Closes Whose Unusual Eventfulness Would Make an Interesting Volume" Emily, daughter of Thomas and Catherine Gibson Godard, was born August 14, 1842, in Lincolnshire, England. In 1854, when she was 12 years old, she started with her parents to America and after a slow, tedious voyage lasting some three months, they landed at New Orleans. From there they journeyed up the Mississippi River to St. Louis and then by water to West Port, which is now Kansas City. Here the party was stricken with cholera and many of them died, leaving but a remnant to join the party there to make the trip over the plains to Utah. Her father was one of the cholera victims and she was stricken with the dread disease but recovered after she had been laid out beside the road to die. Their religious experiences in Utah were disappointing and after a sojourn there of some time they made plans to leave. This, however, they found to be a difficult undertaking and there they found out that everyone was not privileged to come and leave this center of Mormonism as they pleased. Their departure was made possible only by friends in Johnston's Army who arranged for them to make the return trip under the protection of the soldiers who were recalled from Utah just before the breaking out of the Civil war. The young girl's experience during this journey, including escapades with pursuing Danites, hostile Indians, and some romantic soldiers would furnish material for many thrilling stories, though there was little of romance in the experience for her at the time. During the Civil war, she lived at Fort Scott and Fort Laramie, Kan., where she was permitted to see the inner workings of army life in time of war and experience many incidents which come to but few individuals. It was here that romance really blossomed when on January 11, 1862, she was united in marriage to Robert J. Anthony, a young government wagonmaster, and one who rendered much assistance in her flight from Utah. At the close of the war, they moved to Iowa and located upon a farm near Tabor. It was here they became acquainted with the teaching of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and united with the church. From this time on, while her companion traveled the length and breadth of the country fulfilling his calling as a minister of the gospel, she fulfilled her mission by remaining at home and rearing her family. The family later moved to Wilber, Neb., thence to Salt Lake City, Utah, and eventually to Lamoni, Iowa, in the spring of 1897. It was shortly after the removal to Lamoni that the husband and father, after a two years absence from home, died while upon a mission in the west. Since that time she has been a respected resident of this community. Of the 10 children born to her, 6 are living: L. G. Anthony, of Lamoni; L. Lenore Christy, of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada; D. S. Anthony, of San Antonio, Texas; Mrs. Mabel Jones, of Layton, Utah; Mrs. Pauline Gold and J. H. Anthony, of Lamoni. All were with her in her last hours except Mrs. Christy and D. S. Anthony, the extreme distance as well as other conditions preventing. The only other near relative is a sister, Mrs. Carrie Chatburn, of Oakland, Calif. Much could be written of her virtues, but suffice it to say the hungry or needy were never turned from her door; for her family, she sacrificed willingly that they might receive what she considered was their due and gave them a type of instruction and counsel which was beyond criticism. After a long and useful life, she relinquishes her place among us and goes to join those loved ones in the land beyond, as her mortal remains are placed beside those of her companion who was interred in Rose Hill 30 years ago.
