Mrs. J. P. Mather Dead.

Mrs. J. P. Mather died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Coke Watson, yesterday morning at 2 o'clock. The funeral was held this afternoon at 2:30 and was attended by a large number of friends and acquaintances of Mrs. Mather. The services were conducted by Rev. J. H. J. Rice, of the First Congregational church, assisted by Rev. W. A. Parker, of the First Christian church. Music was furnished by the regular church quartet, composed of Miss Jane Lewis, Mrs. Charles Harris, E. J. Lewis and Frank O'Neil. The pall-bearers were D. A. Ellsworth, Judge L. B. Kellogg, Judge W. A. Randolph, M. A. Coppock, Frank Keeler and Carl Judd. Interment was made in Maplewood cemetery.

Mrs. Mather, whose maiden name was Miss Sallie (sic) A. Deming, was born in Unidilla (sic), Ostego county, N. Y., December 14, 1820. In early life she moved to Columbus, Pa., February 11, 1841. They came to Kansas in 1860, settling at Council Grove, where they lived until about eleven years ago, when they removed to Emporia, living here since that time. Mr. Mather died at this place two years ago in May.

Mrs. Mather leaves eight children, thirty-four grandchildren, fifteen great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. The children are Mrs. Adelaide Palmer, of Augusta; Mrs. H. E. Tibbetts, of Sheridan, Wyo.; E. B. Mather, of Buffalo, Wyo.; Mrs. Coke Watson, of Emporia; L. D. Mather, of Minneapolis, Minn.; Mrs. G. W. Munkres, of Buffalo, Wyo.; Mrs. M. S. Munson, of ElDorado (sic); Mrs. W. P. Adams, Buffalo, Wyo. All the children were in Emporia today to attend the funeral except those who live in Wyoming. In early life, Mrs. Mather was a member of the Universalist church, but has been a member of the Congregationalist church since coming to Kansas.

During the ten years past, Mrs. Mather had lived in Emporia. She and her husband moved here in 1897, and since her husband's death she had lived with Mrs. Watson. The faithful service of Mrs. Watson to her mother, in sickness and in death, is one of the beautiful things that makes life in Emporia beautiful. It was a story of joyous sacrifice. Even when her own strength failed her, when she was sick and almost unable to work, the thought of her mother's suffering bore Mrs. Watson up, and she has kept her watch and work until the end. To have such service from one beloved, makes Heaven only a transition.
