Mrs. Amy Earnest died at her home in this village on last Friday evening at half past seven o'clock. Burial took place the following day, Rev. Burleigh, the Methodist minister, conducting a funeral service at her home. Mrs. Earnest was born in or near Palmyra, Ohio, August 31, 1837, and grew up there. Early in life she married Horatio Nelson Earnest. Her oldest child, a daughter, was born at Palmyra. Mr. and Mrs. Earnest later moved to Berrien county, Michigan, where they resided until moving here when the county was first being settled. Mr. Earnest homesteaded land near Nonpareil and later came to Hemingford and went into business. He died here several years ago and both are buried in Hemingford cemetery. Besides the daughter already mentioned there were two sons, Clyde and Wilber. The former was here for several days prior to the funeral, attending his mother and doing all in his power to make her last hours as painless as possible. Her affliction was cancer and she had been troubled with the disease for years, at one time going to the hospital at Omaha where an operation was performed, which, however, could not cure her, but prolonged her life several years. Since the death of Mr. Earnest she gained her livelihood by nursing. But it was only partly for the remuneration that she did this - it was because her heart was kind and sympathetic and because she loved to be of use in the world. Her patients loved her for her cheerfulness, usefulness and genuine interest in their welfare and it is pleasant to note that many whom she nursed during sickness came and ministered to her during the long, painful days of her last illness. She came of one of the best families that Ohio boasts of and through all her life, though environment was often distasteful and somctimes bitter, she kept true to herself and to her youth. A shallower nature could not come so true through the tribulations of a life such as hers. She achieved success in this life because she did good in the world.
