Notes:

Emiline, daughter of Gabriel and Sarah Kneff, was born in the state of Ohio, November 12, 1846; departed this life June 27, 1924, age 77 years, seven months and 15 days.

In early childhood she emigrated to Clay county, Illinois, where she spent the rest of her life.
She was united in marriage to B. T. Atherton July 24, 1870. This union was fruitful of two daughters, who are living, and who cared for their aged mother, since the death of their father September 18, 1908.

In her young girlhood she accepted Christ as her Savior and joined the United Brethren church at Halterman school house 1868 or 1869, later transferred to Harmony, where she was a consistent member until death; though in later years she was not permitted to attend services on account of her afflictions, yet her faith and hope was anchored in Jesus.

She leaves to mourn her death two daughters, Mrs. Ella A. Dobbs, and Mrs. Carrie Robertson, both of Flora; five grandchildren and five great grandchildren; two brothers, T. R. Kneff of Flora, Rev. J. H. Kneff of Canon City, Colo., one sister, Mrs. A. L. Finch of McNeil, Ark., and a number of other relatives and friends.

Aunt Emiline was a loving mother, a good neighbor and kind friend. She will be sadly missed, yet we feel that our loss is her eternal gain.

God saw when her footsteps faltered,
When her heart grew weak and faint;
He marked when her strength was failing,
And listened to each complaint.
He bade her rest forever,
For the pathway had grown too steep;
And now she is sweetly sleeping,
God gives his loved ones sleep.
Like weary and worn out children,
That sigh for the daylight's close,
He knows how we are longing
For home and sweet repose.
So He called this one from her labors,
Ere the shadows round her creep
And silently He watched o'er her,
He gives His beloved sleep.
All dream of the distant future,
All fears that oppressed today
Like mist that clear in sunlight
Have all passed away.
No calls, no troubles, can rouse her
From a sleep so pure and deep,
For only His voice can reach her,
Who gives His loved ones sleep.
Weep not, her toils are over
Rejoice! Her race is run,
God grant we may rest as calmly,
When our work like hers is done.
Till then let us yield with gladness,
Our treasures to Him to keep,
And rejoice in the sweet assurance,
He giveth His loved ones sleep.

Funeral services were held from Harmony church on Sunday afternoon, Rev. G. L. Good officiating. Burial at Kneff cemetery.
