The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa Thursday, November 9, 1905 ELSIE LEORA GRANVILLE, second daughter of MR. and MRS. ANDREW GRANVILLE, was born April 6, 1891, and died at her home in Lincoln Township, Wednesday, Nov. 1, 1905. She had complained of a headache for several days but attended school until Oct. 20, from which date she gradually grew worse until death released her from her intense suffering. ELSIE was of a quiet, unassuming nature but of a singularly beautiful character, her sweet spirit and loving heart endearing her to all who knew her. She will be greatly missed in the home circle where she was a loving, helpful daughter and sister; in the school where she was an earnest, conscientious pupil and an ever thoughtful playmate, and in the Oxford Church and Sunday School of which she was a member of each, where she has always been a prompt and regular attendant. The funeral was held from the Oxford Church, Friday, Nov. 3, Rev. O.W. Brown, a former Pastor, officiating, assisted by Rev. Rusk, her present Pastor. Six of her lifelong schoolmates, vis., Bernice and Nora Johnson, Myrtle and Mary Bingaman, Candace Foster and Gladys Paine, tenderly bore her to her last resting place in the Oxford Cemetery. Beautiful flowers were on and around the casket and a large concourse of friends rendered their last tribute. She leaves her parents, two brothers and three sisters, and a large circle of friends to whom the memory of her beautiful, unselfish life will remain a blessing and benediction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert September 9, 2004 [email protected]
