Obituary- Emert, Lydia

Mrs. Lydia Emert
Mrs. Lydia Jane Emert, widow of the late T.H. Emert passed away at the family home on Navarre and Pottawatomie streets, Thursday evening, January 3, at the age of 67 years 2 months and 21 days. The death of Mrs. Emert was a great shock to a great many friends in Rossville and community who did not know of her recent illness. While Mrs. Emert had been in poor health only a short time her critical condition had been known to the family since an examination made at a Topeka hospital some time ago.
Mrs. Emert was numbered among the rapidly diminishing early day settlers of this section of Shawnee county. She came to this state in the late 60’s with her parents from her birthplace near Pennsboro, West Virginia, where she was born October 12, 1861. Her parents came to North Topeka when she was 7 years of age and nine years later when she was 16 years old they removed to the vicinity of Rossville. Since that time 60 years she had been a resident in the state. The major portion of her life had been spent on the home farm west of Rossville. The last few years had been spent in Rossville.
She was married to Timothy H. Emert on February 15, 1883 at St. Marys, Kansas. To this union three children were born, all of whom survive. They are Ethelyn Ferguson of the home address, Edna Pearl and Clarnece Emert of this community. She is also survived by one brother, Morris Bond, of this city and four grandchildren.
Mrs. Emert united with the Methodist church January 29, 1928, and the funeral service was conducted by her pastor, Rev. Gordon S. Pritchett at the home Sunday, January 6, at 2:30 o’clock.
Music was furnished by the following singers: Messrs. J. D. Fink and Walter Cormack, Mrs. A. B. Jamieson and Mrs. Albert Reser. Miss Edith Higginbotham accompanied at the piano. The songs were, “Some Sweet Day Bye and Bye”, “Voices from Glory”, and “After All Eternity”.
The pallbearers were Messrs. Harvey James, Sherman James, J. W. Reid, Fred Mason, John Kesler and W. V. Hook.
Burial was in the family lot in the Rossville cemetery.
