Obituary : Lillian Pierce (1902-1921)
Thanks to the the fine staff at the Anderson, IN Public Library, I now have copies of the obituaries of my maternal great-grandaunt, Lillian PIERCE. Prior to obtaining the obits, I only knew that she died in 1921 from her tombstone. A search of the obituary database from the Anderson Daily Bulletin at their website allowed me to find an obituary and request a copy. The staff sent me more - including other local papers' copy.

LILLIAN PIERCE AFTER LONG ILLNESS PASSES AWAY
Death Comes to Lovable Young Woman at Home of Father Thursday Evening
Miss Lillian Pierce, daughter of County Commissioner William Pierce, passed away yesterday evening at 5:30 o'clock at her father's home, 4 miles south of Alexandria at the age of 18 years, 10 months and 29 days, after an illness of 21 months of tuberculosis.
About a year and a half ago Miss Pierce was operated upon at the Home Hospital, and for a time was treated at the Alexandria Hospital. Everything possible was done by her loving father to help the young lady to regain her health, but all to no avail.
Miss Lillian will be greatly missed by her parents and all who knew her on account of her sweet and lovable disposition. To know her was to love her.
Miss Pierce, who knew her end was at hand, was cheerful to the last, and yesterday morning called Rev. Herbert Boase to her bedside and planned all funeral arrangements. She selected the pall bearers, flower carriers, and other details. Rev. E.C. Dunn, who baptised her, will conduct the funeral services at her selection and will be assisted by Rev. Boase.
The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 3:00 o'clock at the family home, and the interment will be at Maplewood cemetery, Anderson.
Miss Pierce is the daughter of Wm. Pierce by his first wife, who was Clara M. Peniston. The deceased is survived by her father, step-mother, one brother, Herman Pierce; one sister, Mrs. Virgil Wright; one half-sister, Nehesta, and three half-brothers, McClellan, Cloyd and Charles.
The funeral will be carried out just as planned by Miss Pierce yesterday.

LILLIAN PIERCE IS LAID AWAY IN HER LONG LAST SLEEP
Many Attend Funeral Yesterday Afternoon - Interment at Anderson Cemetery
The funeral of Miss Lillian Pierce was held at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Pierce, four miles south of this city, Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, and was one of the largest funerals ever held in that community. The funeral was conducted just as had been planned by Miss Pierce on the morning of her death.
Rev. E.C. Dunn conducted the services, using for his text the 14th chapter of John, first verse: "Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in Me." He spoke of Christ going away, and of His interest in His disciples - how much He loved them, and that His desire was that they still believe in Him as their Saviour and Friend. Jesus was going away to be with His Father. He said : "I will not leave you comfortless." How true it is. He has been with us in spirit and power, to comfort us, and keep us near Him in life. He spoke tenderly of Miss Pierce, and how her face did shine with the glory of God when she was received into the church, and how resigned she has been since that time. He felt if she could only speak, she would say, "Let not your heart be troubled, have faith in Jesus." He will not leave you comfortless, but He will come unto you. We can not always understand, but Jesus said, "What I do thou knowest not now, but thou shalt know hereafter."
Rev. Herbert Boase concluded the services at the home with a short sermon and prayer. The remains were then taken to the family burial plot in the West Maplewood cemetery at Anderson, where interment took place. The grave was lined with white and pink gladiolas and surrounding the grave were placed over two dozen beautiful floral designs. The casket, a peach bloom plush, was then placed over the grave, when the commital service was conducted as the body was lowered into its last resting place.
The floral offerings were beautiful and were carried by Gladys Fuller, Ruth Osborn, Floy Johnson, Lena Maddox, Ada Starr, Sarah Pierce, Daisy Whetsel, Pauline Jarrett, Nellie Maddox, Virginia Hollowell, Deva Gritton, Marie Pierce, Ethel Watson and Opal Hensley.
The pallbearers were Ruth Schwinn, Mildred Bristol, Ruby Stephenson, Dess Hollowell, Katherine Martin, Bernice Stephenson, assisted by John Johnson and Lyman Jones. The singing at the home consisted of two duets by Mrs. Harold Day and Miss Mildred Dunn, namely, "Does Jesus Care?" and "Will the Circle be Unbroken." Mrs. Harold Day sang as a solo, "Face to Face." Miss Katherine Keller accompanied the singers on the piano.

Nearby is the household of an Emily I. POE, divorced, aged 36, born in Kansas, who is the mother of 3 children with two living. Living with her is a daughter, Edna A., aged 12, born in Kansas.
Because they are listed nearby, it is my opinion that Henry and Emily were previously married, but more research will need to be done to confirm. By the 1910 census, Henry was living with his widowed mother, and Emily had moved to another county.

Senator Phillips household - Murray Co., OK
The Senator PHILLIPS household was enumerated in the 1910 census of Murray Co., OK in the 2nd Ward of Sulphur City. Senator PHILLIPS was my paternal great-granduncle, husband of Una Maude LEMASTERS.
Senator was a veterinary surgeon in the 1910 census, aged 26, who had been married for 2 years. He was born in Kansas and both parents were born in Ohio. His wife, Maud, was aged 25, born in Indiana, with her father born in Mississippi and her mother born in Missouri. This is an error, as her father was born in Ohio and her mother was born in New Jersey. Perhaps the census taker was describing the parents of Senator Phillips. However, his mother, Jennie M., was living with them, aged 50 years old, listed as being born in Ohio.
The family's young son, Donald K., aged 1, born in Oklahoma, was also living with them.
