The obituary of Mrs. E.T. Moyer will be found in another column. Mrs. Moyer died in Winfield at St. Mary's hospital May 3, 1911 after more than a year of painful suffering caused by cancer of the stomach. This loved wife, mother and friend, was beautifully laid to rest in a creamy white robe and casket, surrounded by white carnations, roses and lillies in a white lined grave at Prairie Ridge cemetery beside the daughter who died in 1901. In her death and the death of Mrs. Taylor who died March 3, 1911 our community has lost two helpful women whose hearts and hands were ever ready to aid in another's sorrow or sickness, as well as share the joys, and whose memory will live in the hearts of their friends.
The following Winfield people were out to attend the funeral of Mrs. E.T. Moyer Thursday. Rev. W.O. Shank, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Williams, Mrs. Tuttle, Mrs. Honold, Mrs. J.E. Grove, Mrs. Baker and Misses Vera Haney and Julia Knox. Also Mr. and Mrs. Felix Bolock of Burden, Mr. and Mrs. Will Bolton from Dexter and Mr. and Mrs. Ira Fry and family from Tisdale.

Her sons, Rege, Frank, Ben and Ed, and her son-in-law Elmer were pall-bearers. The floral offerings were many and beautiful and a large number of friends gathered to pay the last sad tribute to the dead. Burial at Prairie Ridge cemetery. The following lines are a tribute from the pen of Rev. Shank. -
How strange the sounds
In that fair city of heavenly light
The angels are singing in carols of delight.
Because of the victory of a soldier of right.
No longer shall sorrow and pain annoy
For heaven is a place of sweetest joy.
Our tears shall be dried:
Our weeping cease,
For our loved one is safe
In that land of peace.
