The Holton Recorder
Jackson County
Thursday
December 7, 1922

Coleman.
Mary Emma STRAWN was born near Holton, Kansas, August 23, 1884. At the age of
six years she moved to Mayetta with her parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Roswell Strawn,
where she grew to womanhood. On March 9, 1904, she was united in marriage to
Clark COLEMAN. To this union were born two daughters, Erma, age 17, and Mary 14.
On October 24, 1920, she made profession of her faith in Christ and united with
the M.E. church at Mayetta, of which she has been a faithful member ever since.
About one year ago she was taken seriously ill and was finally necessitated to
undergo an operation in the early summer. For a period there was improvement and
hopes for an ultimate recovery, but during the recent past there was a return of
the illness when a second operation was resorted to in the hope that the desires
of Mrs. Coleman and family for a real recovery might be realized. The weakened
and impaired condition was not able to withstand the operation and she passed
peacefully and quietly to her Redeemer in whom she had so implicitly trusted,
Thursday, November 23, 1922, reaching the age of 38 years, and 3 months.
In all of her illness and prolonged suffering she exhibited the greatest
patience and fortitude and fully resigned to the Divine leading.
Besides the immediate family, Mrs. Coleman leaves to mourn her loss, a mother
and two brothers and a host of friends and neighbors. Her father and one brother
preceded her in death.
My heavenly home is bright and fair.
No pain or death can enter here.
It's glittering towers the sun outshine;
That heavenly mansion, shall be mine.
The funeral services were  held by the pastor, Rev. J.A. SHULER, of the M.E.
church, Mayetta. A very large crowd was in attendance and the floral offering
was very elaborate and beautiful.
