Layman, daughter of Erle and Carrie Layman, was born April 19, 1925, near Libertyville, Iowa. She died March 9, 1946, in Seattle, Wash., aged 20 years, 10 months and 20 days. Erlene crowded a wealth of accomplishments and development into that short time. Always a modest, charming girl she cemented her acquaintances into a circle of friends, for it can be truly said that to know her was to love her. Her early school work was done in the rural schools of Jefferson and Van Buren counties. Her high school work was done in Keosauqua, and she had finished two years training in the University of Iowa. Troughout (sp) her school experience she had consistently held high places and received honors on the quality of her work. In 1944 she suspended school work, temporarily, and went to Hanford, Wash., with her parents, there to engage in war work. With the cessation of hostilities she returned to Iowa for the purpose of re-entering the State University, and the completion of her training. But ill health laid a detaining hand upon her, and she was not able to achieve that ambition. However, she fought a good fight. She struggled against her insidious enemy, and even went so far as to accept the offer of teaching her home school at New Years. It was soon apparent that the effort of teaching would be too great, and she then went back to Seattle, Wash., to her greatest source of earthly security, Mother and Dad. Despite the loving care and best efforts of science and medical skill, Erlene was graduated from earthly security to heavenly security. Erlene found and accepted Christ several years ago, and His influence blossomed brightly in her character and personality. Her's was a beautiful Christian life, and she was loved by all who knew her. She leaves to mourn their loss, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Erle Layman, her brother, Sgt. William Layman, of Camp Butner, N.C., her sister-in-law, Mrs. Virginia Layman, many uncles, aunts, cousins, and a host of friends. Funeral services were held in Birmingham Methodist church Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. James at Fairfield officiating. Burial in Maple Hill cemetery, Birmingham. Source: Van Buren Co.
