Her childhood was spent in Illinois. When ten years of age she moved with her parents to central Minnesota, where she grew to young womanhood, being the eldest of eight living children. On April 16, 1868, she was united in marriage to Ambrose Sailer. To this union three children were born: Charles P., and Mrs. Sadie L. Underwood, both of Bagley, and Arthur Joseph, deceased. Her husband died seven years ago, at their home in Greene County, near Bagley, where they had lived many years. A few years ago she moved to Bagley, where she was living at the time of her death. She is survived by one sister and six brothers: Mrs. J.L. Rogers of Ohio; Mell of Iowa; Nathan, Charles, Elmore and John Dally, of Minnesota, and Wherry of North Dakota. She was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal church when fourteen years of age, and remained a faithful member until the time of her death. She was true as a friend, kind as a neighbor, and devoted as a mother. She leaves a large circle of friends who join with her loved ones in mourning their loss. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal church, Bagley, Iowa, December 15, and were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Roy W. Thomas. The remains were interred in the family burial lot in Greenbrier cemetery. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- Card of Thanks To all the friends whose sympathy and services were so kindly tendered in our time of bereavement, we desire to extend our sincere thanks.
