Mrs. Keysor was ill only a few hours, and her death came suddenly and unexpectedly. She was recognized by all as one of the finest ladies in our community. She has had a long and useful life and leaves, besides the sorrowing family, a host of friends. Mrs. Tamar Ruth Keysor, daughter of William and Elizabeth Chambers dying, Nov. 1, 1934, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Rose Connell. She was 95 years, one month and 27 days old. She came to Poweshiek county from Indiana in 1865 and on Mar. 15, 1866, was married to George Keysor, who died in 1908. To this union were born four children, Mrs. Rose Connell and Mrs. Maude Lyman, both of Brooklyn, Frank, who passed away when he was 19 years old, and the first daughter, who died in infancy. There are ten grandchildren and nineteen great grandchildren. She was the last member of a family of ten children to die. For a number of years she has made her home with her daughters, Mrs. Connell and Mrs. Lyman. Before that Mrs. Keysor lived on farms near Brooklyn where she was always ready to answer the call of the needy and where she won for herself the love of all of her neighbors. She affiliated herself with the Baptist church in Ohio when she was 18 years old and remained true to that faith until the time of her decease. Her hope for the future was expressed in the words of the hymn, "The End of the Road," the words of which were very dear to her heart. Especially did she rejoice in the line of this hymn which read, "The Face of My Lord I Shall See." Her hope is now being realized. Funeral services were held from the Church of the Brethren near Brooklyn Sunday afternoon. The Rev. Elmer J. Hutchison of Victor officiated at the funeral services and was assisted by the Rev. D.C. Snider of the Brethren church. Mrs. Charles Raffensperger and Mrs. Charles Ferguson of Victor rendered several musical numbers and burial was in the I.O.O.F. cemetery at Brooklyn.
