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.
