Moline Advance,    November 2, 1922
ANOTHER PIONEER GONE

Druscilia Jane Robb was born in Linn county, Iowa, September 22, 1851, and 
died near Berryville, Arkansas, October 23, 1922, aged 71 years, 1 month and 1 
day.

In 1856 her parents moved to Bourbon county, Kansas, where they passed through 
the dangers and witnessed many of the horrors of the Civil War.  In 1871 the 
family removed to Elk county where the father, mother, two brothers, and one 
sister joined the Great Majority.

In 1878, she was married to E. G. Dewey, then county superintendent of public 
instruction and for some years assisted him in educational work in and out the 
the school room.  Their union was blessed with two children, Ralph E. and 
Ellen M. Dewey.

Mrs. Dewey was for many years a teacher, both in Bourbon and Elk counties.  
She possessed a winning personality and hundreds of her former pupils will 
learn with deep sorrow of her death.

No account of her would be complete without references to her religious life 
and on the day of her death was a valiant soldier in the army of her Master.  
All who came in contact with her were inspired to live a higher, nobler, 
better life, and it can truthfully be said that the world is better for her 
living in it.

In 1916 she moved to Carrol county, Arkansas, where she lived until her death.

Two years ago she was stricken with an incurable disease. In hopes of relief, 
her daughter took her to southwestern Texas where they spent the winter, but 
receiving no benefit, they returned to their Arkansas home where she calmly 
awaited the call and when it came, went with joy to meet her Lord.  Her 
sorrowing family brought her to Moline and laid her to rest among her kindred 
where she awaits with confidence the First Ressurrection.--Howard Citizen.
