DuCharme, Emilly
The death of Mrs. Emily DuCharme came as a surprise to her many friends. She was at the First Congregational church, Sunday, September 2, the church she loved and where she had done faithful and beautiful service for many years. Friends have spoken of her sincere appreciation of the house of God and of her real enjoyment in the associations and work through which the life of the church expresses itself. She was first of all an earnest, devoted christian, relating her so far as she could with all that goes to make a better community and world.
She was born near Rockford, Illinois, July 1, 1845, a daughter of Levi Jackson Waller, but the major part of her life was spent in Charles City, where she was universally beloved. She was a member of the Excelsior Chapter of the O. E. S. and to it she gave a willing and consistent service.
She was buried from the Masonic Temple Monday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. Wilson Denney, of the Congregational church, followed by the beautiful rites of the order with which she had been connected for many years.
She leaves to mourn her death, John Polk Waller, a brother and Mrs. May McLeod, of Omaha, Neb.
