Emma Amelia Moery

The community was shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Ernest Moery Saturday evening.

  Emma Amelia Burger was born in Ohio, November 16, 1861, and died at her home four miles south of Hennessey August 4, 1917, and was therefore 55 years, 8 months and 18 days of age at time of death.

  At the age of two years, she, with her parents, moved to Indiana, where she grew to womanhood and received her education. She was married in the latter state April 8, 1880, to Mr. Ernest Moery, and nine years later the family came to Oklahoma, locating on the place which has ever since been their home.

  Besides her husband, she leaves to mourn their loss one daughter, Mrs. Katie Patterson, of Fargo, North Dakota, and three sons, J. F. Moery, Charles H. Moery, and Rudolph E. Moery, all of the vicinity of Hennessey, Oklahoma, and two sisters, and two brothers. She had also been a mother to John Haag, who has made his home with Mr. and Mrs. Moery since he was a small boy.

  The funeral services, which were largely attended, were held from the home at 2:00 o'clock Monday afternoon. Rev. Hamrick delivered the funeral sermon and a quartet rendered feelingly several hymns.

  The many beautiful floral offerings were a mute testimonial of the high esteem in which the deceased was held.

  The pall-bearers were I. J. Cashion, Joe Sternberger, Harry Ehler, Floyd E. Felt, George Holmes and James L. Murphy.

  Those from away who were present at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Romang, Breckenridge, Oklahoma; Mr. and Mrs. George Scott, Ringwood, Oklahoma, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Thine, Waukomis, Oklahoma.

  Mrs. Moery was a woman of noble character, a kind and faithful wife and a devoted mother. Her many sterling qualities have endeared her to a large circle of friends who unite in extending their sympathy to the bereaved family. She was a member of the Turkey Creek Community Club and will be greatly missed by the members of that organization.

  Mr. Moery and family wish to express their gratitude to their friends for their many acts of kindness and also for the beautiful floral offerings.
