EMMA BEYER PASSED ON BEYOND Mrs. Emma Beyer, of Arlington Heights, widow of the late Wm. Peter Beyer, died Thursday afternoon, August 25 at Saint Lukes hospital, Chicago after a sudden and brief illness of a week. All skill and care was given, and the passing away was the most peaceful, with a smile and last word to those dear to her. The interment Saturday, Aug. 27, at Buffalo Grove was most impressive reminding one of paintings in art galleries in Europe, as the near of kin alone followed the flower laden casket. Miss Catherine Beyer, her daughter, will make her home in the future with a well loved brother, Mr. Paul Beyer and his family, at Park Ridge. Emma Beyer was born Nov. 19, 1858 in Fremont Center, Lake County, Illinois. Her parents, John and Emma Meyer, of Forbach Alsace-Lorraine, France, had come to this country as young people and overland by a "prairie schooner." She was married to Mr. Peter Beyer, Sept. 15, 1884. The Byers came to Arlington Heights in 1895, residing since 1897 in their stately home, with its spacious grounds, on Euclid avenue. Funeral services Saturday were very simple, first at the Lauterburg & Oehler chapel in Arlington Heights, thence to St. James Catholic church, where a brief service was held, thence to Buffalo Grove cemetery, where the body of the deceased was laid to rest by the side of that her husband. Rev. John T. Wagener of St. James church officiated.
