After many weeks of illness the death angel crossed the threshold of the Alonzo Mayberry home in this city Thursday night and claimed the spirit of the wife and mother. Thus has passed another beloved pioneer of this community. The body was taken to the Raynor Funeral Home and funeral services were held Sunday afternoon in the Glenwood Christian church with Rev. J. Irving Brown in charge. Music for the service was furnished by Martha McDole, Mrs. Carmen Altekruse, Guy Mayberry and Tom White with Elsie Evans at the piano. The flower ladies were Erma Sawyers, Margaret Knoffler, Ruby Watson, and Freda Burson. The pallbearers were Grover Mayberry, Roy Mayberry, Chester Mayberry, Durward Mayberry, Ernest Schade, Roy Schade, Dent Burson, Chas. Burson, Lonnie Ross and Edwin Ross. The body was laid to rest in the Glenwood cemetery.
Philurah Lewis was born in Allen County, Ohio, December 25, 1842 and departed this life November 26, 1931, at the age of 88 years 11 months and one day.
On November 27, 1871, she was married to Alonzo Mayberry and to them were born three children, two daughters and one son, Mrs. R. N. Ross, Mrs. C. W. Burson and G. C. Mayberry, all of Glenwood, and two stepchildren, who also survive her, Mrs. G. C. Schade of Glenwood and C. A. Mayberry of Gage, Oklahoma.
She came from Allen County, Ohio, to Iowa by wagon in 1881, settling east of Glenwood on a farm. They have lived in and near Glenwood for 50 years. She leaves to mourn her passing, her husband, two brothers, five children, 23 grandchildren, and 30 great grandchildren and many other relatives and friends.
She was for many years a valued member of the Christian church of Glenwood. She was a woman devoted to her home and her family. She leaves the memory of a life of unselfishness lived for others and truly her children and grandchildren may rise up and call her blessed.
