1.) DIED.
There is no death' The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore
And bright in heaven's jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
At the advanced age of 90 years, 5 months, and 27 days, July 15, 1896, Christiana Landers, generally known as Grandma Landers, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Chas Stedman, where she had made her home the last few years of her life.
The funeral was held at the Saints chapel Thursday afternoon, July 16, Elder H. A. Stebbins in charge and Elder Heman C. Smith preaching the sermon. She was laid away in Rose Hill cemetery.
The deceased and her husband, who preceded her in death some four years ago at the age of 96, were prominent figures in the [Reorganized] Latter Day Saints church, more especially from their faithfulness and activity in the cause they espoused. Their lives were long and eventful.
Mrs. Landers' maiden name was Cairns and she was born in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, January 18, 1806; came to Canada when thirteen years old, and on July 21, 1830, married Elder John Landers who was then a minister in the Baptist church.
In 1836 they both joined the Latter Day Saints, and in 1838 moved to Quincy, Illinois, then to Missouri, then back to Illinois, then to Iowa, then to Kansas, and finally to Lamoni. Thus a faithful old mother in Israel has been gathered home.
She was the mother of nine children, two of whom survive her, Mrs. Catherine Stedman of Lamoni and Mr. Alexander Landers of Greenleaf, Kansas.

2.) LANDERS. At Lamoni, Iowa, July 15, 1896, Sister Christiana Landers passed to her rest in the paradise of God.
She was born in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, January 18, 1806, therefore was aged 90 years, 5 months, and 27 days. Her pilgrimage was long and eventful and her reward is sure.
Her maiden name was Cairns, and she came with her parents from Scotland to Canada when she was thirteen years old. On July 21, 1830, she was married to Elder John Landers, who was then a minister of the Baptist Church, at Brookville, Ontario. She was firm in Methodism, but he prayed daily that they might come to see alike in religious matters.
Finally she noticed that he no longer mentioned this desire in his prayers and she asked him why he did not. He replied that the Lord had spoken to him and said that they should yet be in harmony, and therefore the promise of the Lord was enough; he did not need to importune further, for it would be brought to pass. In 1836 they heard the news of the restored gospel and accepted it, he being baptized October 2, and she December 3, of that year.
In 1838 they removed from Canada to Quincy, Illinois. From there he went to Far West twice and brought Saints away in the time of their oppression and distress. In 1839 they removed to Henderson Grove, Illinois, and later lived in Knox and Bureau counties, and from 1847 they lived chiefly in Lee County until 1873. After that in Montgomery County, Iowa, and Blue Rapids, Kansas, until1886, when they came to dwell in Lamoni. Here Father Landers died January 22, 1892.
In all these travels and sojournings the chief thought and purpose of their lives was to aid the cause of righteousness and truth among the people. She was one with her husband in making sacrifice and in performing labor to advance the gospel, all that they had and all that they received being spent in the Master's cause during the long years of their journey on earth.
She was the mother of nine children, seven of whom are dead. The two living are Sr. Catharine Stedman, of Lamoni, and Mr. Alexander Landers, of Greenleaf, Kansas. With the former she has had her home during the final years of weakness and decline. There she was carefully nursed by faithful hands and loving hearts until the end came that released her at fourscore years and ten.
After prayer at the house the funeral services were held in the Saints' chapel, in charge of Bro. H. A. Stebbins. The sermon in memory of her life and her works was preached by Bro. Heman C. Smith. The spirit, from its dying load made free, went to the happy company beyond, while the mortal part sleeps at Rose Hill, awaiting the call of the Master of life.
