January 15, 1929 MRS. MYERS BURIED WEDNESDAY As announced in last week's issue, the funeral of Mrs. J.O. Myers was conducted from the Christian Church in this city Wednesday, January 9th, at 2:30 p.m., Rev. W.P. Bell, the pastor, officiating. The interment was in the family plot in Dallas City cemetery. Mina Moore was born in Fairfield, Iowa, May 27, 1858, and passed away at the home of her daughter-in-law Mary E. Myers in Dallas City, Ill., January 7, 1929. She was married in 1879 to J.O. Myers who still survives her. She also leaves four children, eight grandchildren, a brother, and two sisters. One son Ray Myers passed away in 1915. Very early in her married life, she became a member of the Christian church and her life was one of devotion to her family and her church. Mrs. Myers had been ill but a few days and her death came as a great shock to her family and to the community in which she has lived for a number of years. The surviving children are: Laura McNeill, Gary, Ind.; Frank E. Myers, St. Louis, Mo; Vane Myers, Elkhart, Ind.; and Carl Myers, Alton, Ill. I cannot say, and I will not say, That she is dead- she is just away. With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair It needs must be, since she lingers there. And you -O' you, who the wildest yearn For the old time step and the glad return, Think of her fairing on, as dear In the love of There as the love of Here; Think of her still as the same, I say, She is not dead-she is just away.
