Pioneer Resident Buried Sunday

Mrs. Emily A. Widney, pioneer resident of Will and Kendall counties, who died 
on Friday at her home at White Willow, in Kendall county, was buried on Sunday 
afternoon at 2 o’clock, in Aux Sable cemetery, aged 73 years. Mrs. Widney, who 
was the daughter of the late George Van Duser, of New Lenox, leaves one son, 
Jay, of Plattville, Kendall county, and a daughter, Mrs. Ella, widow of the 
late James Edward Heap, of White Willow. There are also brothers, Edward of 
New Lenox, Jerome of Iowa, Gilbert of Kansas, and Flora, of Iowa. One 
daughter, May, wife of William Madison, died ten years ago. The funeral from 
the home in White Willow was one of the largest ever held in Kendall county. 
Rev. Walter H. MacPherson of the Universalist Church, Joliet, officiated. Mrs. 
Widney, on account of the early friendships formed at New Lenox, also through 
her residence in Joliet for a long period afterward, was perhaps a woman of 
more wide acquaintance than any woman of her years in the Will-Kendall 
district.
