| 5432 |  | Obituary- Emerson, William 1 (Issue of Friday, Dec. 26, 1879) LOCAL BREVITIES Good old Mr. Emerson is dead. His cheerful face will greet us no more from the little store room door, and never again will his pleasant salutations fall upon our ear. His sorrowing widow is alone there now, except for her son and family kindly attend to her wants, and tenderly comfort her in her solitude. We have all noticed the evident decline of the good old man, his face grew pale, his form more bent, and his step more tottering as cold weather came on, and the winter's chill caused him to wrap his shawl close about him and grasp his cane more firmly, yet we failed to realize that his days were numbered, and last Friday morning at six o'clock when Mr. W. Emerson quietly breathed his last, but comparatively few had missed him from his customary daily walk. The news surprised and pained all. It seemed but yesterday that he sat upon the post office steps and watched the building of his little store on Main St., built by his son, and the satisfaction with which the grateful hearted old gentleman and his wife moved in and settled down contented and happy "for life." Then how from the steps of his new home he had with deep interest watched the progress of the new Masonic Hall, and the growth of the town. Quiet, inoffensive, strictly upright, kind hearted -- we know there is not one but will breathe a sigh of sad regret and tender memories over the news of his death. We learn that he was about 68 years of age -- has traveled extensively in his life time and has raised a family of eleven sons, ten of whom are now alive and prospering in different part of the country.

| 5445 |  | Obituary- Enos, Margaret MARGARET ENOS Margaret Evans, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Evans, was born Nov¬ember 22, 1850 in Oneida County, N.Y. She was one of 11 children, all of whom with the parents are now de¬ceased. She was of Welch descent, both her father and mother were born in Wales, and this gave her a good heritage from a strong devout ancestry. She was united in marriage with Pascal Enos at Topeka, in 1876 and after a happy family life of ten years, Mr. Enos passed away leaving her with two little children, Zimria Enos of Perry, Kansas and Pascal Enos, Jr., of Oklahoma City. She met the struggle in those pioneer days with her little family in such a successful way, meeting the hard¬ships and difficulties and surmount¬ing them, using the best that she had for the battle of life. The boys were present in her last days and when she passed away. She was a college graduate of some institution in New York and had taught school for ten years prior to her marriage and after the death of Mr. Enos she went back again into the school room at Kingsville for a period of two years where she had taught. She was a successful mother, not only to her own boys but gave at least three girls a good chance in life, Dora James, Mrs. Nettie Startup McKoun, Wichita, Ks., and Mrs. Zena Loveland of To¬peka, who gave affectionate atten¬tion to her foster-mother during her recent illness. She had been a member of the Methodist church since childhood, taught in the Sunday School and associated in every department of church life and work. She was also a member of the Eastern Star and had great regard for her associates in that society. She went to the Methodist Home November 6, 1926, from Rossville, Kansas, where she had battled with the struggles of life, and the boys having married, left her all alone, so from November 6, 1926 until now she had a little respite in this “house by the side of the way of life.” She was an omnivorous reader, sitting up late in the night and seemed to be at home and in good company when she had found a good book. After attending a service at the Cowman Memorial church, which she greatly enjoyed, coming out of the church she missed a step and fell and was brought home and attended by a physician and after some little tune seemed to recover, but as we now remember perhaps she never was recovered from the injury to the back of her head when she fell on the hard sidewalk. She has gone to her reward and has made such an impression upon those with whom she lived and has established such affectionate rela¬tions not only with the children and their families but with her neigh¬bors and friends that we will all want to go whither she has gone— in God’s Good Time. The funeral services was con¬ducted by Rev. Zook assisted by Dr. S.B. Alderson, former pastor of the Presbyterian church and close friend of the family, Tuesday after¬noon, March 6. The music was furnished by Mrs. Wm. Butters, Mrs. Clyde Cless, Rev. Gordon Pritchett and J.D. Fink, with Mrs. E.G. Griswold, pianist.
