GRIM MESSENGER HAS CALLED A NOBLE WOMAN
MRS. MARGARET SNURR PASSES AWAY IN OMAHA
Remains Brought Back to Home of Her Girlhood Days and Laid to Rest in Sheridan Cemetery - Death Occurs After Very Short Illness.
Margaret Watson was born in St. Louis, in the year 1858, and when but a mere child came to Nemaha county with her parents, brothers and sisters. The family located on a farm southwest of this city, where Margaret grew to young womanhood. Her death occurred Wednesday morning at St. Joseph's hospital, following an operation for the removal, of an abnormal abscess. On Sunday, April 14, she was seized with severe and acute pains. She had been in good health and had attended church in the forenoon, and after dinner, when thus seized her family did all in their power to relieve the sufferer. It was hastily decided to take her to Omaha and reaching there it was found that owing to her weakened condition an operation could not be preformed before Tuesday of this week, from which she did not rally but went to her eternal sleep, dying as she had lived, a true, noble woman.
About thirty-two years ago Margaret Watson was united in marriage to Joseph Snurr at Brownsville. They lived in this county for many years, removing to Sumner, Dawson county, this state about twenty-one years ago. There by hard work the couple have accumulated considerable of this worlds goods, Mrs. Snurr being a helpmate in the truest sense of the word. Just as the husband thinks that he and his partner can rest from their labors and enjoy their remaining years, the grim messenger enters and snatches away the devoted wife and mother.
Margaret Snurr was the mother of three children, who are left with the father to mourn their loss. The remains were held in Omaha until the arrival of the two sons, Harvey and Joseph, Jr., from Sumner, after which they were brought to this city and taken to the home of the brother, Wm. Watson, Jr. The remains arrived Thursday noon and among the grieved ones in waiting was the daughter, Mrs. Rhoda (George) Ubben.
Funeral services were held from the Christian church, Friday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. F. L. Pettit and the remains were brought to Sheridan cemetery. Besides the grief stricken husband and children, there is the aged father, William Watson, Sr., now 83 years of age, who has been living with a daughter in Omaha and who accompanied the remains here. There are four sisters and five brothers, six of these being able to attend the funeral.
Mrs. Snurr's is the first death to occur in the family of ten children, she being the first to join the mother in the heavenly home.
The sisters are Mrs. Mary Long, of the state of Washington, Mrs. Jane Bryant, of Omaha, Mrs. Will Mayer, of Howe, and Mrs. Agnes Harmon of this city; the brothers, David, of Stella, Robert, of Howe, William, Jr., of Aburn, James and Daniel, of Oklahoma. The last two named with Mrs. Long were unable to attend the funeral.
