Emma Rebecca Pflager, youngest daughter of Levi H. and Mrs. Rebecca Appleby, 
ceased to live on earth November 1, 1892. Emma was born November 22, 1849, in 
Bloomingdale, DuPage county, Ill., where she spent her earlier years.

She was united in marriage with her now bereaved husband, Fred Pflager, 
September 13, 1867. In another year a son, Freddie, was born to them, but only 
lived two years.

In early youth she gave her heart to God, while attending school in her native 
town, and united with the Baptist Church.

In 1871 she, with her husband, removed to Kansas. She was an earnest and 
helpful worker in W.C.T.U. circles, while her health permitted, and her 
intelligence and affable manners made her a useful member of society, while her 
affectionate and sympathetic nature warmed, gladdened, and brightened the lives 
of those with whom she mingled.  Her many engaging qualities of mind and heart 
endeared her to all whom she met.

In 1887 they left their Wichita home and came to Los Angeles, where they have 
since resided -- 935 Lincoln street.

After coming here, she, with her husband, joined the Unitarian Church.

For many years past her health had been failing but the loving Saviour came and 
spoke peace to her troubled heart and she was at rest. She gave every evidence 
of perfect assurance of being at peace with God. 

In every relation of life, as daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend, she 
was true to the noblest impulses of a noble womanhood.

The funeral services, conducted by her pastor, Rev. Thomson, were comforting 
and beautiful.

Her body was interred in the beautiful Rosedale cemetery under the shadow of 
the mountains, where the peaceful stars look down, there to await the glad 
resurrection morn and the joyful summons. 

"Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the 
foundation of the world."
