MRS. J. P. EASTON IS AT REST
When Mrs. Anna M. Easton, beloved wife of Mr. J. P. Easton, passed to the great beyond in the early morning hours of Sept. 19, 1922, a good and noble pioneer woman was lost to this community. Having come to Warren with her husband 40 years ago, she had, seen the city grow from a mere hamlet of a few houses to its present proportions as a commercial and educational center. And in this growth and development she had plated her part well. By reason of her high intellectual endowment, educational attainments and Christian character she exerted an influence for good in the young and growing community that time shall not efface. Consequently she will be missed and greatly missed, as a good neighbor and friend and an earnest worker for community welfare, but most of all will she be missed as a mother in the home wherein she reigned with charming and kindly grace for so many years.
Mrs. Easton was born March 18, 1854, at Lowell, Massachusetts. Her maiden name was Magoon, a name that has been prominent in the public service of this country from early, colonial days to the present time. Her parents were Henry C. and Mehitable C. Magoon. She was married October 18, 1875, to her husband, Mr. J. P. Easton, who survives her, and who now together with two daughters, two sons and three grandchildren, mourn the loss of a good, kind and loving wife and mother. The of daughters are Mrs. Henry C. Stuhr, of Minneapolis, and Mrs. Leora E. Cassidy, of this city, and the sons are Dana M. Easton of Poplar; Mont., and Chauncey C. Easton, of Bemidji, Minn. One daughter, Fannie, died in infancy. The grand-children are, Chauncey E, Stuhr, Anne J. Cassidy and Jack Easton. All the children were at home when the mother died and were present at the funeral. Decease also a leaves a brother, Harrison C. Magoon, a civil war veteran, and now superintendent of Arlington Cemetery, Washington, D. C.
After their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Easton resided tit Owatonna, Minn., for five years, or until in 1880, when they came to Warren and settled on a farm a few miles south, in town of Brislet. After living a few years on the, farm they moved, to Warren, where Mr. Easton engaged in business and this city has ever since been their home.
During her long residence here Mrs. Easton always took great interest in church, school, lodge and social affairs and in all activities for the betterment of the community. She was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city for thirty years, or until the organization here ceased to exist, when she affiliated with the M. E. church of this city. As a member of the W. C. T. U. she did valiant work for the cause of temperance in this city, county and state. In the Eastern Star, the Rebekah, the Woman's Club, the Reading Circle, and other organizations to which she belonged, she rendered useful and. unselfish service, and her place will be greatly missed.
The funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 20, at the First M. E. Church, of which deceased was a member, and was largely attended. Relatives and friends from far and near came to pay their last tribute of respect and esteem to her whom they had known long in life and had' learned to appreciate for her many noble womanly virtues. As the funeral cortege on the way to the church passed by the High. School, the high school students and faculty were lined up on each side of the street and stood at attention in honor of deceased. In the church the services opened with the singing of "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" by Mrs. F. C. Wittensten. The pastor, Rev. V. P. Mitchell, read the 23rd Psalm, the favorite portion of scripture of deceased, and then delivered an impressive funeral discourse in which he paid high tribute to the life and character of the departed. A ladies quartet sang "Nearer My God to Thee," at the close of the service. The floral tributes were exceptionally beautiful and profuse, the casket being enveloped in a mass of flowers. One set piece was an American Legion emblem from the State Department of Montana. Leaving the church, the funeral procession headed by the members of the Eastern Star, wended its way to the cemetery. The pall bearers were Farrell, H. L. Wood, A. B. Nelson, C. E.Lundquist., N. S. Hegnes and W. F. Powell. At the cemetery a short service accompanied by Eastern Star ceremonies consigned the remains to Mother Earth, there to rest in peace until the morn of the Resurrection.
Among those present at the funeral from out of town, besides the many who had come from Argyle, Stephen and other near by points, were the following Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Robson, Pipestone, the latter a sister of Mr. J, P. Easton.; Judge Horace Bagley, of Towner, N. D:, a nephew of Mr. Easton; Dr. H. C. Stuhr, of Minneapolis, son-in-law and Chauncey E., grandson ; Mrs. Mary Howard, of Minneapolis J. A. McDonald, of Minneapolis, manager of the Hilaire Retail Lumber Co., George Sweetland, of Fargo, manager of the Fargo Lumber Co.; .Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Bystrom, of East Grand Forks ; Otto Bystrom, of Moorhead; 0. J. Pederson, of Hallock Oscar Anderson, of Kennedy; and all the local managers of the St Hilaire Retail Lumber company's yards in this vicinity.
And thus has passed from the Storms and turmoil of life to that harbor within which is peace and rest, another of the noble and esteemed pioneer women of Warren. Her memory will be always green in the hearts of those who knew her best. To the bereaved family in their great sorrow this community extends its most sincere condolences.
"And when we saw her ready to depart We hushed our bitter cries,
And whispered through our tears
Farewell, God speed thee!
For well we know, whose hand
Would guide her back across the sea
Into that haven of eternal rest
And it is well—
He giveth his beloved a sleep."
