May Viola Hensley was born May l3, l859, at Green Castle, Indiana, and died at her home near Leroy, Iowa, on Tuesday, April l0, l900.
When l6 years of age she came to Iowa with her parents who settled on a farm near Leroy, and two years later she was married to Hardin Lillard, who with one daughter, survive her. To them were born four children, three of whom died in infancy.
Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian Church at Leroy on Wednesday, April ll, conducted by Rev. J.Q. Hall, pastor of the Garden Grove Presbyterian Church, of which deceased had been a member for some years. Interment was in the Metier Cemetery. Many beautiful floral decorations were heaped on the casket and grave and testified more eloquently than weak words of the esteem and respect in which deceased was held by her neighbors.
Mrs. Lillard's father, mother, brother and sisters all reside in Kansas and owing to the serious illness of the mother, all were prevented from attending the funeral.
During all the weary months of suffering, Mrs. Lillard was patient and cheerful to a marked degree and when the near approach of death was evident, calmly resigned herself to the will of the Master and passed peacefully to the other shore.
