Read More	From Nevada Journal March 9, 1927 (page 5) EDWARDS FUNERAL HELD THIS AFTERNOON BODY INTERED IN THE NEVADA CEMETERY--EASTERN STAR IN CHARGE The funeral services of Mrs. Susie Edwards, who died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Kirkendall Sunday night, were held this afternoon at the First Methodist church. The service was in charge of her pastor, Rev. L. E. Watson, assisted by Dr. R. M. Shipman of Ames, a former pastor. Interment was under the ritualistic observance of the O. E. S., which order attended the service in a body. The community was shocked Monday morning to hear of the sudden death of Mrs. Edwards at a late hour Sunday night. Mrs. Edwards had not been well for the past week, having been under the dare of her physician and a professional nurse, yet her condition was not considered serious until a few minutes before her death. As usual, late in the evening she had been prepared for rest when the nurse observed that she was rapidly sinking and her physician was called, but in spite of all that could be done by loving hands and professional skill, she quietly passed away. Susie May Edwards, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Kirkendall of Nevada, was born on the home farm southeast of town May 31, 1881, and died in the home of her parents, March 6, 1927, at the age of 45 years, 9 months, and six days. March 17, 1902, she was married to Wm. E. Edwards, and to this union one son, Ralph, was born. June 10, 1904. The son with his wife; the aged father and mother; a sister, Mrs. Homer White, of Nevada, two brothers Howard of Salem, S. D., and Earl of Wells, Minn., are left to mourn her death. [Since their] marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Edwards lived on a farm, but later moved to Nevada where Mr. Edwards engaged in the hardware business continuing therein until his death in 1915, following a short illness of flu. Mrs. Edwards took up the burden of being both father and mother to her son and faithfully and well she fulfilled her task. The later years of her life were spent in the home of her parents where she unselfishly devoted herself to their care. At the same time she was associated with the Ambrose store as saleslady in the ready-to-wear department. For many years of her life she was a loyal and faithful member of the Methodist church of Nevada where she was ever willing and ready to do what she could for her Master. She will be especially missed in the choir where she had long been a faithful member. She was a member of the O. E. S. holding at the time of her death the office of treasurer. She was also a member of several social clubs. Caring for the better things of life, she always loved to mingle with her friends upon whose lives she always left some thing of her own sunshine. Of no one may it be more truly said, "He life was one of service." Knowing that she would never pass this way again, she was ever ready to relieve some ones pain of help to lighten his heavy burden. "A helping hand in this one land, Then turn some other to befriend." "We long for the voice that's gone, For vanished smiles we long. But God heath led our dear one on, And he can do no harm."
