Beamer, Emily Wolfinger –
Emily Wolfinger was born February 14, 1851 , in LuZerne Co., Pa., and departed this life July 21st, 1916 at her home in Clearfield, Iowa, aged 65 years, 5 months and 7 days. She came when a small child to Appanoose Co., Iowa, with her parents and there grew to womanhood and was united in marriage to Robert C. Beamer, January 21st,1868.

To this union were born seven children, three dying in infancy, and Stella at the age of twenty.

Those remaining to mourn her loss are her husband, one son, and two daughters, the daughters being Mrs. Ida Farnsworth of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Mrs. Sadie Bender of near Clearfield, and the son, Alonzo L. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who was unable to be present at the funeral; also seven grandchildren, of whom she was quite fond.

She also leaves her mother, Mrs. L. Beamer, step-father and two half-brothers, besides other relatives and friends. Mrs. Beamer was a great sufferer for several years, her last illness dating from the first of May. All that medical skill and loving hands could do was done, but to no avail.

She was a kind and loving mother and friend and always in sympathy with those in trouble. She was a devoted Christian although deprived of the privilege of attending church services on account of poor health. She suffered greatly several weeks before her death, but put her full trust in her Savior, and assured her friends that she was ready and anxious to go. Her last words were words of prayer.

Funeral services were held at the Clearfield Christian Church on Sunday, July 23, at 2 p. m., Pastor Johnston officiating. The pallbearers were M. W. Witter, A. Goodman, Elmer Nickle, Dan Canny, C. W. Sage and K. N. Young. The church was crowded with the friends and neighbors of the deceased. Interment followed in the Clearfield Cemetery.
