The death of Mrs. Edith Leona Yeazel occurred at her home six and a half miles southeast of Homer, on last Thursday after a few days of intense suffering from influenza followed by pneumonia. She was born at Ogden, Illinois, July 30, 1886 and was at the time of her death, 32 years, 6 months and 14 days old. She was the daughter of Mr. and Ms. P. J. Wagner, her father still living in this vicinity, her mother having passed to the Great Beyond when Edith was a small child. She made her home with her father until her marriage to Seigel Yeazel, of Homer, March 5, 1906. To their happy wedded life four children were born, those surviving are: Glen, age 12; Nellie, age 10; Helen, age 2. Besides the children she leaves her husband, father, one brother, Charles Wagner, of St. Joseph; one half brother, Elmer Wagner, of Ogden; one half sister, Mrs. Clara Firebaugh, of Kell, Illinois; one step-sister, Clara Holly and one step-brother, Arlie Corray, of St. Joseph. Besides these relatives she leaves to mourn her death, a host of friends made by her loving disposition and kind ways. She was a loving wife and mother, always looking forward to the good of her home and family. Edith was always ready to administer to the needs of others. The funeral was held Saturday at the home at ten o’clock. Rev. Biddle of the M. E. church of Homer, officiated. The pall-bearers were sons and sons-in-laws of Mr. Yeazel as follows: Rolla Yeazel, of Homer; Troy Yeazel, of Rockwell City, Iowa; Vander Hartley; Bowman Clester; Charles Hillard; Wm Johnson. Interment was made in the G. A. R. cemetery at Home. The father, Mr. Wagner, and the half-sister, Mrs. John Firebaugh, were unable to attend the funeral. Those from Ogden who attended, besides the family were, Mrs. Charles Sadler, Albert Loeffler, John Loeffler, Louis Creagor, Charles Creagor, Urbana; Troy Yeazel, Rockwell City, Ia.; James Stayton and family; Jay Freese; D. H. Helton; Jesse Jenkins; Claude Wolf and Jesse marsh. The many beautiful floral offerings showed in what high esteem she was held. The husband was not able to follow the remains of his wife to her last resting place, owing to his own illness of influenza. A host of friends of Ogden and the surrounding community sympathize with the family in their loss of a loving mother, wife, daughter and sister. (transcribed by Homer Historical Society)
