Do not get this Mary confused with one in West Virginia they are not the same person this Mary did not live in West Virginia, someone has the wrong parents in her bio.
Mary Catherine DYER, daughter of William and Mary BURK, was born on January 8, 1841, and departed this life May 14, 1926, aged eighty-five years, four months and six days.
In 1856 she was married to Joseph COOPER. To this union two sons were born—William and John T. The husband and father died in the Civil War. The widow was again married, August 22, 1866, to Rev. S. W. DYER. To this union were born eight children—Charles, of Worthington; Elbert and Dick, of Odon; Stanell, of Sandborn; Mrs. James S. DITTEMORE, of Terre Haute; Mrs. Anna ELKINS, of Odon, and Mrs. Mary KETCHUM, of Bicknell. One child died in infancy.
The second husband, who was born August 14, 1846, and was the son of James and Rachel DYER, died May 17, 1926, three days after the death of his wife—died on the day of his wife's funeral, and was buried the next day. Arrangements for the wife's funeral had progressed so far at the time of the husband's death, that it was scarcely possible to bury both at the same time.
He was seventy-nine years, eight months and twenty-seven days old.
They reared a foster son, Charles TROTTER, of Linton. They leave forty-seven grandchildren, and a number of great-grandchildren and other relatives and hosts of friends.
Uncle Sam, as he was familiarly called, left two brothers, Charles F. of Worthington, and Nathan, of Detroit, Michigan, and one sister, Mrs. Laura CHARMICHAEL, of Solsberry.
He was a minister of the Christian church for fifty years. His own failing health, as well as the blindness of his wife, and her helplessness in her last years, obliged him to give up regular work in the ministry. He was also an Odd Fellow and a Mason. The Masonic order gave their beautiful burial ritual at his grave.
He was a sweet-spirited elderly man, and his life and teachings will be a beautiful memory to all.
The aged wife and mother was a fine example of patience in her blindness and helplessness. She endeared herself to all who knew her life. She united with the church early in life, and honored her confession as long as she lived.
The aged husband and wife craved to be buried at the same time. Practically their prayer was answered.
Funeral services were held in the Worthington Christian Church for both of them—for the wife May 17, 1926 at two p.m. on Monday; for the husband at two p. m. on Tuesday. Elder T. A. COX, of Bloomfield, officiated at both services. Interment was in the beautiful Worthington Cemetery.
