Mrs. Robert Byers
Mrs. Robert Byers Last Monday evening passed away peacefully at her home in this village after an acute illness of about 10 weeks. Funeral services were conducted at the family residence this afternoon by Reverend E. F. Wheeler.
Mrs. Byers since girlhood had been very frail but during the past four or five months she failed rapidly. For several weeks she had been confined to her bed the greater part of the time. Her chief difficulty was due to the fact that her heart muscles did not function correctly and finally she developed other more painful complications.
Mrs. Byers' maiden name was Lillian Martin. She was the daughter of William and Sarah Martin and was born in Brownville, Maine, on April 14, 1856. When 14 years of age she came to the Middle West with her parents. For a few months the family remained in Iowa and then came to Princeton in 1870, where they made their permanent residence.
On January 9, 1876 Lillian Martin was united in marriage to Robert D. Byers, the son of one of the old settlers in this community. There were six children, all of whom are living and 12 grandchildren. Mrs. Byers father died 19 years ago and her mother preceded her by just 12 years.
The members of the immediate family surviving Mrs. Byers are her husband, Robert D. Byers, three daughters, Mrs. Ira G. Stanley, Mrs. O. E. Stark, of Princeton, Mrs. H. L. Kemp, of Spokane, Washington; three sons, Ernest, Leslie and Dennison, all of Princeton; one sister Mrs. Frank Libby of Princeton and a bother, William Martin of Chisholm.
Mrs. Byers was one of the women of the old school. She placed above everything else her duties as a wife and mother. She gave of herself unsparingly to her family and so sincere and unselfish was her devotion that it blessed all those with whom she came in contact. The good that she has done will live long after she has passed from this sphere.
"You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will,
But the scent of the roses will hang round it still."
