Mrs. Emma Coover At Rest
HEAVENLY CALL CAME LAST FRIDAY
Emma Elizabeth Farnsworth, daughter of Benjamin J. and Eliza Girdner Farnsworth, was born October 12, 1859, near Holden, Mo., and passed to her haven of rest, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Clarence Lear, in Urich, Mo., June 9, 1933, after a lingering illness of several years.
On December 25, 1881, she was united in marriage with Samuel Duncan Coover, who was her constant companion and help-meet for forty-four years - until his death seven years ago. To this union six children were born, two sons and four daughters, all of whom survive her.
In 1897 Mrs. Coover united with the Christian Church at Quick City, Mo. She was a consistent, diligent worker in the church of her choice as long as her health would permit, and a faithful follower of her Master to the end of her pilgrimage.
Mrs. Coover has fulfilled the great mission of life - service to those about her. She was indeed a noble woman and carried on in her life the sturdy virtues that so distinguished our pioneer forefathers. She was constantly exemplifying Christian virtues and precepts. The silent influence of her life will be an inspiration to all who knew her intimately and her memory will be cherished by her family, her relatives, and her friends.
To her children her passing means a real loss. They will miss the smile, the word of encouragement and the hand clasp, but there remain memories to encourage and uplift them.
“Long, long be their hearts with
such memories filled,
Like the vase in which the roses
have once been distilled,
You may break, you may ruin
the vase if you will,
But the scent of the roses will cling round it still.”
She leaves to mourn her death her children: Clay C. Coover, of Kansas City Mo.; Carl M. Coover, of Urich; Miss Elsie Coover, of Seminole, Okla.; Mrs. Jessie Meloy, of Tulsa, Okla; Mrs. Jennings Atkins, Blairstown Mo.; and Mrs. Clarence Lear, of Urich; two granddaughters, Genevieve Coover and Betty Clay Coover; one brother, four sisters and a host of other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the Urich Christian church on Sunday, June 11; burial in Mount Moriah cemetery, Kansas City, Missouri.
The services were conducted by the Reverend W.C. Melendy, Of Olathe, Kas. A quartet: Mrs. W.A. Weidman, Mrs. F.A. Swackhammer, W.H. Erwin and R.K. Godwin sang “Abide With Me” and “Does Jesus Care?” Mrs. Swackhammer sang “One Sweetly Solemn Thought.”
Pallbearers were Harry Salsbury, R.F. Hunter, B.H. Farnsworth, E.J. Higgins, George McCoy and Rolla Spry.
