Mrs Eva May Legg at her home in Grant Township, Pochaontas Co. Ia 2 May 1894 died. Mrs Legg, second daughter of Mr John Reamer, formerly of Pocahontas Co, now of Perry, Iowa was born in Jones Co. and moved with her parents to Poc. Co. about eleven years ago.

She was married in 1891 to Mr Robt. Legg was well known in this county, and to know her was to honor her. She has been a great sufferer for many years, but has borne it patiently, never losing her trust and confidence in God. Her end was a glad joyful victory over the fear of death and the grave, seeing beyond both a Heavenly home and a blessed savior waiting to recieve her into evertlastin inadsions. She rejoiced in the hope of a speedy release from eaths sufferings. Often it seemed as if she saw the glories beyond and so she fell asleep in Jesus with a peaceful smile.

The funeral service was conducted in the M.E. church, Pomeroy, by Rev. W. T. McDonald, the church being filled with sympathizing friends and relatives, and her body was laid away in the Pomeroy cemetery waiting for the day when the voice of God shall bid the sleeping dust to rise.
