Mrs. Cedate W. Amy

Cedate W. Amy, daughter of Wm. and Charity Anderson, was born in Oskaloosa, Iowa, November 13, 1853, and died in Willard, Colorado, July 25, 1929. Her illness of leakage of the heart extended over a period of several months, though her passing was rather sudden.

She was married to John B. Amy, December 27, 1876. To this union six children were born: Guy, who died in 1889, at the age of 11 years; Ralph, aged 18, who was killed in a runaway near Dexter in 1906; and Clifford, World war volunteer, died in Camp Dix, New Jersey, September 23, 1918. The living are: Mrs. L. H. McDonald, of Winterset; Floy, Amy and Lee, also a World war veteran, of Willard, Colorado. The husband passed away in 1902.

She moved to Colorado in 1912. The older members of Early Chapel church remember the family well, having lived in the immediate neighborhood. She was baptized when a young girl, in the Church of Christ in Oskaloosa, and attended here as long as they lived in the vicinity. She had faith in and trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior.

The death of her 11 year old boy, the passing of her husband, the accident that took away the young man of 18 years, then the soldier boy, who died in the flu epidemic, sorrow and affliction have not been strangers to her. She lived to a good old age of 76 years.
