Cora May Chaney, daughter of Thomas A. and Mary E. Chaney, was born near Clay City, Ill., May 1st, 1869; died Sept. 10th, 1917, age 48 years, 4 months and 9 days.

She was united in marriage to G.B. McGrew Oct. 6th, 1890. To this union four children were born, three boys and one girl, namely: Chlorus, of Mitchell, S. Dak.; Cecil, Clyde and Forest who remain at home. Deceased has one sister, Mrs Minnie Sheets, of Mitchell, S.D., and four brothers, A.U. and C.M. Chaney of New York City, E.M. Chaney of Mitchell, S.D., and T. Chaney, of Des Moines, Iowa, and one grandson, Milford. These together with her beloved husband and a host of relatives and friends remain to mourn her departure.

In passing she has gone on before only that she may blaze the way for those who are to follow. We can't pass on with her now, for the Lord has a little more work for us to do.

She was converted at the age of 13 and united with the Christian church at Clay City. Later she moved her membership to the Christian Church at Christian Temple, in Northern Wayne County. In the year 1907 she united with the M.E. Church, South at Shiloh, where she remained a faithful and consistent member until the Lord called her to that home prepared for all who love Him.

Mother is gone. While to us her voice is hushed, it is not siltent. In that upper and brighter place she has joined that heavenly choir and united with that innumberable multitude that have gone up through great tribulations and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

While it is sad to part with loved ones so dear, yet we bow in submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well, and willingly say "Thy will be done."

The funeral was conducted by Rev. M.E. Cox, of Baldwin, Ill., at the Shiloh Church on Friday, Sept. 14th. Among the beautiful floral offerings from relatives and friends was a beautiful piece from Harter-Stanford Township High School, and one from the Woman's Missionary Society of Shiloh.
