Mrs. Charlotte Cowser, affectionately known to nearly everyone in the community as "Aunt Charlotte" passed away at her home in Glasford, Tuesday evening, at the age of 86 years. She had been in failing health for several years.
Funeral services are being held this afternoon at the Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. L .C. Meller, of Farmington, the former pastor, assisted by Rev. C. L. Smith of the Copperas Creek U. B. Church.
Six of Mrs. Cowser's sons will act as pall bearers. The same six sons acted as pall bearers for their father thirty years ago, which is a very unusual occurrance.
Interment will be in the Harkers Corners Cemetery, where the father was buried.
Mrs. Charlotte Tapping Cowser was born in Hollis township, Peoria County September 3, 1842 and passed away at her home in Glasford Tuesday, April 9, at 7 p.m., aged 86 years, 7 months and 6 days.
She was the last of a family of ten children born to William and Mary Hawkins Tapping and had spent her entire life in Peoria County.
She united with the LaMarsh Baptist Church at the age of sixteen, later transferring her membership to the Glasford church.
She was united in marriage to Henry M. Cowser on June 22, 1865, who passed away December 28, 1898.
They were the parents of eight children, seven sons and one daughter, all of whom survive together with 24 grand children and 11 great grand children, as follows: W. D. Cowser, Glasford; U. S. Cowser, Glasford; C. A. Cowser, Pekin; Mrs. Mary Fuller, Glasford; H. E. Cowser, Glasford; Albert R. Cowser, Farmington: Thos. Cowser, Glasford; and James C. Cowser, Farmington.
Mrs. Cowser had been a loving mother and a good neighbor, and respected and loved by all the many years she lived in this community. She was a regular attendant at both churches in Glasford as long as her health permitted.
She will be sadly missed by her family and friends.
