The funeral services were held in the Methodist church at Peoria, Monday, March 6th, and the body laid to rest in the Peoria cemetery, Rev. Mercer of Prairie City conducting the service. She was married to John J. Byers Sept. 26, 1895. To this union five children were born; Ethel A., George M., Arvo J., Blanche E. and Lowell J. It need not be said to those who know her that she lived a simple unobtrusive life, a life that spoke more by deeds and kind acts than by words—"An innocent girl to the last," as a friend remarked the other day. Throughout her sickness, Emma was aware that she could not get well. Still her whole thought was for the welfare of her husband and children. Though conscious that she must soon meet her Savior, Emma was ready and willing to go. She often spoke of it, and only regretted that she could not care longer for her family. We will miss her from the home, And our hearts in sorrow lie;,. Yet we know that she is blessed ' In her home beyond the sky. We would not recall her now From the crown that she has won; Though we cannot understand. Still we say, "Thy will be done." A.F. (From the Pella Chronicle, March 9, 1911)
