Mrs. Anton Stoery Called By Death On Last Monday Morning
One of the saddest deaths in Estherville has had in recent years was that of Mrs. Anton Stoery which occurred Monday morning at the Anderson hospital in this city. The feature that made it sadder than others was the fact that in bringing another bright life into this world she sacrificed her own existence right at the time she was to become most useful in this world as a fond mother. Just why these things occur is a problem we do not know and it is not our province to know. It is beyond the understanding of any but the supreme ruler of this universe.

Just one week from the time Mrs. Stoery became a mother she passed to the great beyond. For the first few days she seemed to be recovering nicely but for some cause fever set in, and there seemed to be no way to check it nor could the cause be located. For three days a raging fever worked at the heart strings of life and at last Mrs. Stoery passed away never having lost consciousness however, through it all.

Mrs. Emma Sando Stoery was born in this county on November the seventeenth, 1890 and has lived here since that time with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T.O. Sando of Wallingford. She was a graduate of St. Ansgar Lutheran college and after returning home was in the Bank of Wallingford and the Iowa Savings bank of this city. She was united in marriage to Anton Stoery of this city on June 10, 1915 and the young couple was just getting a home started in this city. The funeral services will be held at the home here Thursday at 10;30 and at the Church near Wallingford at 2:30 p.m. the remains will be laid to rest in the cemetery at Wallingford, the Rev. J.J. Aker officiating.

The deceased leaves a husgand and father and mother, two brothers and three sisters living; two brothers and one sister having preceded her. (Estherville Enterprise, Estherville, IA, March 28, 1917)

Obituary of Mrs. Anton Storey [Stoery]
Miss Emma Sando was born on the home farm just out of Wallingford, November 17, 1889, being the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.O. Sando. She was married June 10, 1915, to Antone Storey of Estherville. She was a lady of refinement and had the charm of personality that attracted her to a large circle of friends, both in her girlhood home and in this city where she has made her home the past few years. She was just past twenty-seven years at the time of her death. She received her early education in the Wallingford schools, later attending school at St. Ansgar, Iowa., where she completed her education.

Sando of Jackson, Minnesota, and three sisters, Mrs. G. Gilbert, Miss Rendine [Randine] and Miss Bertha all of Wallingford.

Funeral services were held from the Lutheran church in this city at 11 a.m. Thursday forenoon and also from the Lutheran church in Wallingford in the afternoon. Interment was made in the Wallingford cemetery. (Vindicator and Republican, Estherville, IA, April 4, 1917)
