Obituary of Mrs. Sarah Myers
Sarah Elizabeth Gleason was born April 9, 1850, in Venango county, Pa., and died in Estherville, Iowa, Dec. 22, 1929, aged 79 years, 8 months and 13 days. She was the third in a family of ten.

In the spring of 1877 she came with her parents to Sioux Rapids, Iowa. She lived in or near this town until 1920 when she sold her home and moved to Estherville.

She was married in 1881 to Anton Myers who preceded her in death ten years ago. To this union were born two children, Orvie Myers of Terril, and Mary Lee of Lake Lillian, Minn. In early life she united with the Baptist church and remained a faithful member the remainder of her life. She leaves to mourn her going her two children, four grandchildren, four brothers, I.G. Gleason, of Haxtum, Colo., J.H. Gleason of Sioux Rapids, T.J. Gleason of Springboro, Pa., J.D. Gleason of Fleming, Colo., and one sister, Mrs. Myra Thurston of Colorado Springs, besides numerous other relatives and a host of friends. She was a quiet, home-keeping woman who will be greatly missed by those who knew her well. So has another full sheaf of life been garnered into the Father’s house.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Wells of Webb, from the Baptist church at Sioux Rapids and interment was made in Lone Tree cemetery by the side of her husband. Appropriate music was beautifully rendered by three ladies from Webb. Relatives attending from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Hipple and Mr. and Mrs. John Hipple of Estherville, Wilbur Hipple of Iowa Falls and Mr. and Mrs. Will Gleason of Greenville, Iowa.
