Nasonville, Jan. 2. —An illness of slightly more than a week's duration, which began with an attack of influenza and developed into pneumonia, claimed the life of John Eyers, 43, well-known and highly esteemed member of one of the pioneer families of Nasonville, who passed away this morning at his home across from the Rock town hall.
In spite of the fact that physicians held little hope for his recovery since last week, friends and members of the family continued to be optimistic. His condition was too serious to permit his removal to a hospital, but efficient medical skill and care were administered, and at intervals a slight improvement appeared to exist. The attack, however, affected his heart, and the end occurred shortly after 5 o'clock this morning.
John Eyers was born Aug. 5, 1885, on the farm where he died, and spent the greater part of his life in this community. Several harvest seasons, however, were spent in Minnesota and the Dakotas, and on one of these occasions he met Miss Ruth Dewey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Dewey, Fergus Falls, Minnesota, to whom he was married April 6, 1915. He brought his bride with him to Nasonville. where he owned a 40-acre tract adjoining his father's farm, and later he leased and subsequently purchased the homestead.
Mr. and Mrs. Eyers were members of the Nasonville Presbyterian church until that congregation temporarily became inactive a number of years ago, since when they have been affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal church at Lindsey, where their leadership has played an important part in making possible the new house of worship. Mr. Eyers was for many years a member of the Lindsey camp, Modern Woodmen of America, and of the Marshfield lodge, Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
The surviving members of the family include the grief-stricken widow and four children, Hubert Nelson, 11; Wilmer Dewey, 9; Elizabeth Ellen, 7; and John, Junior, 4, besides the mother, Mrs. William Ferguson, East Alton, Ill., and three sisters and two brothers. They are Mrs. Otto Vroman, Mrs. Charles Wrest, Ida, and Edward, all of East Alton, and Charles of Iron Mountain, Mich.
The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon.
