Death of Daniel Emmert.

Daniel Emmert died suddenly at his home, November 17, 1902, nine miles northeast of Red Oak on Monday morning, presumably from heart disease. While storing vegetables in the cellar he dropped dead. Only two of the daughters were at home at the time, Mrs. Emmert being at a neighbor’s on an errand. The funeral services were held in Pleasant Lawn United Presbyterian church Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock and were conducted by Rev. D. M. Montgomery, assisted by Rev. S. E. Dubois. There was a very large attendance of friends. Interment was in the Red Oak (Evergreen) cemetery. Mr. Emmert had lived in this county 32 years. He was an excellent citizen, highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He was born in Carroll county, Illinois, February 9, 1844, and came to this county in 1870. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church of Pleasant Lawn, and had been a church member since 22 years of age. Mrs. Emmert and eight children survive him. The children are Frank Emmert, Mrs. Nellie Keim, Mrs. Mamie Elliott, Mrs. Grace Lathrop, Mrs. Edith Selser, and Misses Mamie, Nannie and Elizabeth.
