OBITUARY

Mrs. Emma Monroe passed into the great beyond, Thursday morning at 2:30 a.m., October 5, at the age of 74 years, 9 months and 17 days.
Her birthdate is December 17. In 1859, in a small town named Woodstock, near Montreal, Canada, she entered this world to live a life full of happy adventures, even though we know she had her sorrowing time. Some forty years ago she journeyed to the United States, living in several different places, and the last thirty years has been spent in this community, where she is known so well.
"Grandma," the name filled with so many tender, loving memories, was the name everyone loved to call her.
All through life from early childhood she believed in the high power above us, who would someday welcome her home. These late years grandma has been handicapped by her illness in publicly appearing in community life. However, in her private life, and until her last, she breathed the fervent prayer that she wanted to be taken "home." Shortly before her last journey she asked to have "Bringing In The Sheaves," her favorite hymn to be sung at her bedside.
Those left to mourn the loss of this kind and loving soul are: three daughters, Mrs. Wm. St. Lawrence, Portland; Mrs. F.P. Richardson, Klickitat and Mrs. Alex Randall, of Centerville; six grandchildren, and a host of friends.
Funeral services were held from the Chapman Chapel Saturday, Oct. 7th at 2:00 p.m. Elder S.C. Eshelman officiating. Interment followed in the Centerville Grange Cemetery.
