"Of cancer of the stomach at the Ensworth Hospital in St Joseph at 4 a.m. Sunday, February 4,Mrs. Nancy E. Rea, aged 69 years, 1 month and 5 days.
The funeral was conducted by Rev. A. R. Hunt from her home in this city at 2 o'clock Monday. Interment at the Savannah cemetery.
Nancy E. Beattie was born near Glade Spring, Washington County, Virginia, December 30th, 1836, and came with her parents to Andrew County, Mo., in the spring of 1849. On June 17, 1852, she was married to the late Hon. David Rea, who died four years ago. Nine children, six sons and three daughters, were born to this union. One daughter and two sons died in infancy.
Four sons and two daughters survive their parents, all of whom attended the funeral. They are John B. Rea of Mankato, Kansas, Joseph L. Rea of Rea, Dr. Robert Rea and Mrs. Manor Fry of Plattsburg, and Charles and Ida Rea of this city.
Of Mrs. Rea it can truly be said she was in every sense a womanly woman; true, tender, loving, heroic and patient. A noble wife and loving mother who spent her whole life in trying to make a perfect home for her family which she loved so sincerely. Realizing that happiness of life is made up of every day duties, she constantly strove to make her home attractive, that she might send her children out into the world in the full belief that there is 'no place like home.' And now that home has been deserted for a higher and better one in the life beyond, and the children scattered, that home will still live in their memories and help them strive to live noble lives that they may be reunited in the home which will never be broken."
