MRS. MARY STONEHOCKER PASSED AWAY JUNE 5; WAS NEARLY 88 YEARS OLD
Mary Elizabeth Horn was born at Fairfield , Iowa , on November 7, 1855, where she grew to womanhood. She was united in marriage to Martin Stonehocker, and to this union were born four children, two girls and two boys, all of whom have preceded her in passing.
Mr. Stonehocker passed on about thirty years ago, and after that Mrs. Stonehocker came to live in Imperial, keeping house for her brother, who also passed to his reward about twelve years ago. Since that time Mrs. Stonehocker had lived all alone in the home that her brother provided for her, and where she herself left this life for the one in the home of many mansions, on Saturday morning June 5, 1943, at the age of 87 years, 7 months and 28 days.
Mrs. Stonehocker united with the Methodist Church in Imperial in the year 1924, and had been a faithful and loyal member since that time. She attended Church until failing health and age prevented her from doing so. She was a kindly disposition, and was friend and neighbor to all around her. She appreciated any little act of kindness that was performed for her, and her surrounding friends and neighbors were not slow to render what services they could during those day of her last sickness and passing.
She is remembered as one of god's faithful children, and is in His keeping.
Mrs. Stonehocker is survived by three sisters, and several nephews and nieces, who mourn her passing, along with her friends and neighbors of this community.
Funeral services were held on Monday afternoon, June 7, at the Methodist Church in Imperial, with the pastor, Rev. C.A. Arnison, officiating. Rev. and Mrs. Arnison sang three hymns, "Rock of Ages," "The Beautiful Land," and "Abide With Me." Pallbearers were Arthur Luhrs, P.N. Foster, E. H. Johnston, W.G. Adams, C.G. Adams, and Harry Nedrow. Interment was in the Imperial Cemetery , with Lurhs Service in charge.
