Obituary of Mrs. Paul Ford

Edna Sarah Guiser was born to Anna and William Guiser September 17, 1900 in Martell Township, Pierce County, Wisconsin, and passed away at the Miller Hospital in St. Paul August 26,1953 after suffering from a severe stroke on August 20. She had been in failing health during the past few years and especially after a stroke on August 12, 1950.

She attended the Kay rural school and then the River Falls Normal graduating in 1919. The six years spent teaching in the elementary grades in Minnesota and Wisconsin were rewarded by a host of life long friendships.

On October 30, 1926, she was united in marriage to Paul H. Ford. Marjorie, Paul, Eleanor, Milton and Phyllis, the five children born in their happy home 2 1/2 miles west of Hammond, added much to her comfort in the several years of failing health that preceded her death.

She has been a life long member of the New Centerville-Hammond charge of the Methodist Church, taking part in church and Sunday School activities from childhood even when failing health should perhaps have kept her confined.

She was preceded in death by her father, William Guiser, and one sister, Florence, Mrs. Richard Jones.

She will be sadly missed by her loving husband, her mother, Mrs. Anna Guiser of Baldwin, her children, Marjorie, Paul, Eleanor, Milton, and Phyllis, all at home; her one brother, Irwin Guiser of Martell and her three sisters, Mrs. Epher Nelson (Margaret) of Hammond, Irma Guiser of Baldwin, and Mrs. Jerry Huberty (Dorothy) of Minneapolis, besides hosts of friends.

The funeral service was held Saturday afternoon at the Methodist Church with Rev. Mrs. C. Paul Nulton in charge, assisted by Rev. Edw. McCann of Zimmerman, Minn., a former pastor here and a close friend of the family. Burial was in the Hammond cemetery and her six cousins, Louis, Scott, and Russell Rudesill, Guy and Carl Wiff, and Fred Bakke, all of New Centerville, were pall bearers.

We miss her in the place of prayer,
And by the hearth-fire's light;
We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet "Good night!"
There seems a shadow on the day,
Her smile no longer cheers;
A dimness on the stars of night,
Like eyes that look through tears.
Alone unto our Father's will
One thought hath reconciled;
That He whose love exceedeth ours
Hath taken home his child.
Fold her, O Father! in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
A messenger of love between
Our human ears and thee.
