Emma May GILLETT was born in Liberty township, Jefferson county, Iowa, Sept. 28, 1877 and died at her home near Clarinda, Iowa, Jan. 25, 1905. She was married to Loren E. GILLETT May 28, 1902. To this union was born a son. The babe was about three weeks old at the time of the mother's death.

Mrs. GILLETT grew to womanhood in the county of her birth. About seven years before her marriage she went to the home of her grandparents to assist in the care of these aged persons. While in this home she attended the public and high school at Fairfield, and spent four years in school at this place. During her stay with her grandparents her kindness and fidelity greatly endeared her to them. After her marriage she went with her husband to the vicinity of Clarinda and there resided on a farm until the time of her death.

Mrs. GILLETT was a very kind hearted woman, kind and thoughtful in her home and kind and affectionate to everyone. She became a christian and united with the M. E. church about nine years ago, and when she removed to Clarinda she took her church certificate with her and united with the church at her new home.

Her remains were brought here for burial and the funeral was conducted at the home of her father, Mr. Geo. CORNELL, Friday at 1 o'clock p.m., and she was interred at the beautiful Fairfield cemetery (sic - Evergreen Cemetery). Rev. C. Springer assisted by Rev. Rowlingson officiated.
