Greenbrier Rites for Mrs. Underwood

Services were held at the Greenbrier church Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock for 
Sadie Lee Sailer Underwood, 63, who died Thursday evening, Nov. 13, at the 
home of her daughter in Olin.  The Rev. C. E. McPherson of Churdan and the 
Rev. Mr. Jackson of Greenbrier were in charge.  Short services had been held 
previously at the Campbell funeral home at Olin, Saturday afternoon at 2 
o’clock, and burial was made in the Greenbrier cemetery.

Pallbearers were Will Evelsizer, Sr, Howard H. Witter, Fred Morton, Albert 
Leek, Sol Ummel, all of Greenbrier, and Chet Nolte of Jefferson, all former 
neighbors.  Grace Chesebro, Violet Miller, Ada Duncan and Mrs. Delmar Compton, 
accompanied by Mrs. Ada Naylor, sang “Face to Face”, “Saved by Grace”, 
and “We’ll Be Going Down the Valley” during the services at Greenbrier.

Mrs. Underwood, born Nov. 26, 1877, in Greenbrier township, was the daughter 
of Ambrose and Ruth Sailer.  Aug 2, 1896, she was married in Greenbrier to 
H.M. Underwood, who preceded her in death Aug. 10, 1924.  She was the mother 
of five children, of whom three survive her.  Alta died in infancy and Paul 
Gardner died in 1935.  The other children are Mrs. Alice Hawley of Olin, 
Charles Lowell of Oskaloosa, and Elton E. of Scranton.  In addition, she 
leaves a brother Charles Sailer of Dawson, and eight grandchildren.  One 
brother, Joseph, preceded her in death.  At the time of her death she was 63 
years, 11 months and 18 days.

She had been in ill health for some time, and had been confined to her bed 
about three months; nevertheless, her death came suddenly of heart trouble.  
After her marriage, she lived at Ruthven, Brayton, Rolfe, Grand Junction, and 
then returned to Greenbrier township in 1907, where she remained until about 
12 years ago when she went to California.  About ten years ago she returned to 
Iowa, going to the eastern part of the state.

In her more active days, she was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, 
and was a faithful member of the Methodist church.  She was affiliated with 
the Olin church at the time of her death.
