MRS. OSCAR EASON DEAD
Daughter of Mr. George Moir Dies Suddenly

The sad news came over the telephone early Friday morning, January 4th,
the Mrs. Oscar Eason had passed away in the hospital at LeMars following
an operation for cancer. She had suffered for about four months, being
bedfast most of the time, but bore her trouble with remarkable patience
and fortitude.

Grace Ella (Moir) Eason, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. R. Moir
was born on her father's farm southeast of town November 3, 1885, and
here her girlhood was passed, with the exception of a few years when the
family resided in Oregon.

She was united in marriage to Oscar Eason on February 22, 1912, and
together they began a very happy married life and when Heaven blessed
their home with two little ones, their cup of happiness seemed indeed
full. She was ever a dutiful daughter, a kind and affectionate sister
and a loving and devoted wife and mother.

Besides her grief stricken husband and the little ones, she leaves to
mourn her early death, her parents, six brothers and two sisters,
besides a host of other relatives and close friends.

A short service was held at the home with Rev. Bertie Watson of Seney in
charge and the remains taken to the Presbyterian church at Alton, of
which she was a member.

Rev. George Fulcomer gave a very comforting talk, after which all that
was mortal of our beloved was laid to rest in the Nassua Twp. Cemetery.
Death is sad at all times but when it takes from our midst a young wife
and mothers our hearts are sad indeed.

Let us not think of her as dead but as living, not as the flower that
has withered, but at one transplanted and touched by the Divine hand is
blooming in richer color and sweeter fragrance than those of earth.

“There is no death! The stairs go down
To rise upon some fairer show,
And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forever more.”
