Zook -­ Emma, youngest daughter of Andrew and Magdalena Zehr, was born May 10, 1885, near Flanagan, Ill.; died in Manson, Iowa, Sept. 24, 1933; aged 48 y. 4 m. 14 d. On Nov. 18, 1914, she was united in marriage to Amos Zook of Manson. To this union two sons were born (Harold J. and Wayne Z.). She was a faithful member of the Mennonite Church. On July 2, 1928, she suffered a sun-stroke which affected her heart. The following April she was stricken with Tuberculosis. This, together with complications, caused her death. She suffered much, but bore it patiently. She was much concerned for and devoted to her family, and spent much time in prayer to God to guide and direct her in rearing her family. The family loses a devoted mother and wife, the community a sympathetic, loyal friend. She was much interested in religious activities, but was very much denied the privileges of attending church services owing to ill health. She is survived by her husband, two sons, two brothers (Chris and Simon), three sisters (Mrs. Peter Ulrich, Mrs. C. F. Summer, and Mrs. F. E. Eicher), and a host of friends and relatives who were near and dear to her.

"Dearest mother, thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But 'tis Jesus who has bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heel."

Funeral services were held Sept. 27 in Manson Mennonite Church by Bros. C. J. Garber and Nick Stoltzfus. Text, "She hath done what she could," which was her own choice. Interment in Rose Hill Cemetery. ­ The husband.
