At the age of seventeen years she united with the Baptist church but after a marriage on moving to Atkinson, Ill., she united with the Congregational church there to which she still belonged.

Mrs. Gresser came to Rossville nine years ago to make her home with her children, most of this time having been spent with her son Grant where after much tender care she passed away. Thru all the trials of her life she kept her faith in God, never once doubting but that all things were His plan and done for the best. So strong was this faith, that she goes on beyond leaving on the memory of her children an indelible memorial to the mother who lived her Christianity each day of her life. Funeral services were this (Thursday) morning at 10:30 o’clock, at the home of C. E. Gresser, conducted by the Rev. Gordon S. Pritchett. The body was then taken to Topeka for shipment to Geneseo, Ill., for burial. Mrs. Grant Gresser and Messrs. C. E.
