MRS. E. A. KIESER	
	Mrs. Eliza A. Kieser, formerly of this place and widow of 
the late Frederick Kieser, died at Rogers, Ark., Aug. 30th, 1910, at 
6:30 am, while on a visit to her son, James Kieser, and was buried 
at Mount Zion, Sept. 2.
	Mrs. Kieser was born Nov. 21, 1841, at Memphis, Tenn., and 
in 1859 was married to L, W, Hannah at Memphis. To this union was 
born one daughter, now Mrs. D. A. Luten, of Union City. Mr. Hannah 
died in 1866, and on Jan.29, 1868, she was married to Frederick W. 
Kieser, to whom were born six children, four of whom are still living: 
J. F. Kieser, of Rogers, Ark.; Virginia (Mrs. G. L. Eminiser), of 
Greenville, Miss.; Irene (Mrs. W. A. Swift) of Texarkana, Ark.; Miss 
Ivy Maude, who lived with her  at home in Little Rock. Two of her 
children, John P. Kieser and Annie (Mrs. H. T. Emerson) having 
preceded her. She also reared four step-children: Mr. Will Kieser 
(deceased); Mrs. Bush; Mrs. Williams (deceased), and Miss Mary 
Kieser, who lived with her and was at her bedside when she died.
	Mr. and Mrs. Kieser lived in Hickman for a while and then 
they lived at their beautiful home near Jordan, and it was here that 
we first knew her, perhaps thirty years ago. We found in her a woman 
of great depth of character - strong christianity - that had begun back 
in her early days at Memphis, where ahe attended Sunday School at 
First Methodist Church and where ahe became a member when quite 
young. She was a member Mount Zion church for 22 years and was 
one of our most active and influential members. She loved the Sunday 
School work, and the writer was a member of her class.
	Mrs. Kieser's house was always open to everyone, and the many 
pleasant evenings spent there with this happy family will linger with us 
through the coming years.
	After leaving here they moved to Union City, where Mr. Kieser 
died in June 1900. Afterwards, they moved to Little Rock, Ark., where 
she was living at the time of her death. She had untied with the church 
at that place and was a member of the Sunday School.
	Mr, J. F. Kieser, Mrs. Eminiser, Misses Mary and Ivy Maude 
Kieser accompanied her remains here for burial. The funeral services 
were conducted by Rev. W. C. Sellars at the residence of Mrs. D. A. 
Luten, assited with a few selections in music, after which the services 
were conducted at Mount Zion Church.
