Mary Gertrude Kahler eldest daughter of Valentine and Frances Kahler was born near Newcomer, March 20, 1853 and passed away at her home in the east part of Brunswick, June 20, 1933 at the age of 80 years and 3 months.
On April 14, 1873 she was united in marriage to Charles Frederick Meyer who preceded him in death, December 16, 1928. To this union nine children were born, seven of whom survive, namely: Julius O., Carl A. and Frank E. Meyer, Mrs. John Zuerl, Mrs. Ellsworth Ousley and Mrs. Henry Manson all of this place and Charles w. Meyer of California. The deceased children were
Victor, who passed away at the age of two years and Walter H., who passed away at the age of 38. She also leaves one brother, Valentine Kahler, one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Strub, 30 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren to mourn her death.
She was a life-long member of the Catholic church and practiced her religion in her daily living. She gave freely to her church and to those who came to her in need. She took a deep interest in her large family and was always ready with words of advice and cheer when called upon. Her neighbors knew her as a friend on whom they could depend. She was affectionate and self-sacrificing in all her family relationships.
Mrs. Meyer spent her entire life in this community, living on a farm near Newcomer with her parents until her marriage, then moving with her husband to a farm south of Brunswick where they lived for over 50 years. During this time they were known as some of the most progressive citizens of Chariton county, and by the practice of thrift and foresight, with years of hard work they bought and paid for over 1200 acres of land all within the county and several pieces of desirable property in Brunswick. They moved to Brunswick in 1925 and it was here, perhaps that Grandma Meyer spent her happiest days. She had always been unusually fond of flowers and her little home in town was completely surrounded with them. From the earliest spring blossoms until frost cut them down, they made her home beautiful.
Death came to her after 11 months of suffering from a complication of diseases. All of this time she had every care and one or the other of her daughters was with her almost constantly, helping the doctor and nurse in every way possible. She was ready and willing to go when the call came.
Funeral services were held Thursday morning at St.Boniface Catholic church, with her grandsons as pallbearers and her granddaughters as flower girls.
She was laid to rest beside her husband in the Catholic cemetery.
