Dr. Emmons’ Mother Dead.
[Waterloo Times-Tribune, July 15.]
At 11:15 o’clock Tuesday at her home in Sumner, Mrs. T. P. Emmons, wife of the traffic manager of W. C. F. & N. and mother of Mrs. L. S. Cass of this city, passed away from an affliction of cancer of the stomach, following prolonged illness lasting many years.
Mrs. Emmons was one of the best known and loved women of Sumner and her death will be a great shock to her many friends there and in Waterloo, as she had lived in that city for over forty years. Besides her daughter and husband she leaves a son, Dr. Will Emmons, of Burr Oak. She was in the neighborhood of seventy years of age at the time of her death. A short funeral service will be held at the home in Sumner to-morrow at 10 o’clock, following which a special train will convey the remains to Waverly for interment. The Eastern Star, of which she was a prominent member, will have charge of the ceremony.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows she was born May 7, 1840 and died July 13, 1909. She is buried in the Harlington Cemetery in Waverly, IA.
