Read More	Mrs. Mary Catherine Messamer, one of the oldest and most respected residents of the community northwest of Adel, passed away at her home a short distance east of the Panther store, about 12:30 Sunday morning, July 21. Death was due to a cancer, from which she had suffered for some time, but she was bedfast only about a week. It was not unexpected by members of the family and close friends and while it ended a period of intense suffering, it brought sorrow to hundreds of old friends and neighbors with whom she had associated and labored for more than a half century. Mrs. Messamer, a daughter of Abraham and Susanna Myers, was a real Dallas County pioneer. She was born at McVeytown, Pa., January 26, 1851, and grew to womanhood in the eastern state, but came to Dallas county in 1871. With the exception of one year spent in Florida and three years on neighboring farms, all of the time since her arrival in the county has been spent on the farm where her death occurred. She married Joseph Miller Messamer in 1871 and with him she helped to develop the country which was a wild sweep of prairie land when the home was established. Mr. Messamer was injured in an accident about twenty-five years ago and died soon afterward. Since that time she had managed the farm affairs with the assistance of her children, two of whom are still at home. She took an active part in church and community affairs of the neighborhood, lending aid and assistance to those in need and lived the life of a real mother. Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Messamer - six sons (Harvey Abraham, Orlo Elvin, Thoedore Roy Sr, Don Howard, Homer L. and Merton Ray) and three daughters (Minnie Rose, Nina Pearl and Ida Mae), eight of whom are still living. They are: Harvey A. Messamer, Mrs. Ed Crouse, O. E. Messamer, Nina Messamer, T. R. Messamer, D. H. Messamer of Modesto, California, Homer Messamer of Dallas Center and Merton Messamer. Miss Ida Messamer passed away two years ago. There is also one brother, J. K. Myers of Dallas Center, and one sister, Mrs. Anna Middlekauff of Des Moines. A large number of grandchildren and ten great grandchildren are left to remember the kindly ministrations and motherly attention given them.
