The services were in charge of Rev. J. F. Stille, pastor of the Emerson Baptist Church. Music was furnished by Ray Fields, Frederic Larson, Mrs. Merritt Taylor, Mrs. E. E. Whisler, with Mrs. R. R.

Thomas Henry Grayson was born near Bowling Green, Kentucky, November 27, 1857, and departed this life January 20, 1938, at his home just south of Emerson, at the age of 80 years, 1 month, and 24 days. In March, 1881, he was united in marriage to Mary Shirley and to them were born three children, Clarence of Ranchester, Wyoming, Mrs. N. G. Gist of Nevada, Missouri and Laura who died in infancy. His wife passed away in the autumn of 1886. On March 5, 1893 he was united in marriage to Margaret Hays, and to them were born five children, Edwin Hugh, who gave his life for his country and died in France during World War 1, Susie of Pomona California, Robert of Emerson, Iowa, Mrs. Hazel Johnson of Valley, Nebraska, and Mrs. Harry Porter of Hastings, Iowa. Beside the children named, there remains to mourn his passing his faithful wife, Mrs. Margaret Grayson, nine grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and many friends. Mr. Grayson spent some years in Missouri and Kansas, but has resided near Emerson, Iowa since 1912, a little over a quarter of a century. Mr. Grayson had a gift for making friends and keeping them once they were won. He was a good husband and a dutiful father. He had lived a full life. His greatest interest in recent years was his grandchildren. His health began to fail in the early fall and he was confined to his home the greater part of the time. Idle hours for one who had ever been active, hastened his death, which came January 20th as a relief to his suffering. Information found in the Glenwood Opinion Tribune, Monday January 31, 1938.
