Edna Cagley died at her home Wednesday morning, July 12, 1905, of heart failure preceded by pleural pneumonia. She was the only daughter of George W. and Emily Sloat.
At age six he moved with her family to Chickasaw, Iowa where she grew up. She had careful training in a Christian home, and her beautiful character was a blessing to all who knew her. She had a sweet and unselfish disposition. To know her was to love her. She was bright of mind and ranked among the highest in her schoolwork. Her social and religious life was ever for the good and truce, a power for good in the community. She was highly accomplished in music, a leader in church to train children to sing and play the songs of Zion. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and a Sabbath school teacher.
She married Robert R. Cagley at her home in Chickasaw on June 9, 1896. He survives her along with two little daughters: Doris, about six years of age, and a babe four weeks old; her father and mother.
Her home showed the beauty of her character, and hers was an ideal home, made attractive by her loving care and thoughtfulness. Ever a devoted daughter, wife and mother, she was the idol of the home. Truly a treasure has gone from earth to heaven. Our loss is heaven's gain. In the valley of death, the resurrection light shines, and we know that in the dawning of the morning, we shall meet again.
Rev. Anderson, of New Hampton, conducted a short service at the home, followed by a service at the Baptist Church at Chickasaw. The 23rd Psalm was read, and hymns "Asleep in Jesus", "Safe in the Arms of Jesus", and "It is Well with My Soul" were sung by the Ionia choir. Pastor gave an eloquent address from Romans 8:28. The immense concourse of people at the last sad rites, and the many beautiful floral tributes, testified to the high esteem in which the deceased was held. Interment took place at beautiful Greenwood Cemetery, Nashua, where was laid to rest one who was truly a good woman, for "She hath done what she could" and "He giveth His beloved sleep."
