PHEBE FLORENCE ARMSTRONG POYSER's Obituary:
"Phebe Poyser, died on April 4th 1889, at her home, five miles south-east of Long Island, at the age of 57 years and six months. She was the daughter of A.V. and Mary Armstrong. Was born in Franklin county, Indiana, 14 day of October 1831. After the death of her father, with her mother she removed to Laporte County, Indiana, and was converted and joined the Missionary Baptist church, and remained a member of that church until her marriage to Daniel Poyser, in 1853. She then became connected with the Methodist church, and continued her membership there until the year 1876, then united with the Free Methodist and remained a member of that church, and a consistent Christian, until death called her home to receive her reward. She leaves a husband and six children, and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Rev. E.E. Miller of Almena, Kansas preached the funeral at the residence on Friday, at 11 o'clock. A concourse of mourning friends and neighbors, said to be the largest ever seen in the neighborhood, followed her remains to their last resting place in Bethel cemetery.
Taken from: "Long Island Leader" 11 April 1889, Long Island, Kansas
Daniel Poyser was a very small man in stature and walked with a limp, due to an injury from falling off a roof of a house he was working on. Daniel went to school with Susann McKibben (Lane), probably in Ohio or maybe in Indiana but later married her oldest daughter, Nancy Ann Lane, Daniel homesteaded in Granit township, in Phillips County, Kansas. Daniel and Phebe homesteaded about five miles southeast of Long Island, Kansas 30 September 1886, and was listed in the 1885 census of Phillips County, Kansas -see another page-. He also worked at a flour mill near Long Island -see picture of old flour mill-. It is thought that Daniel and Phebe came to Kansas about 1881 from Iowa. His oldest son William Norton Poyser bought his father's farm for a team and a wagon and went to south-eastern Kansas for the remainder of his life. He is buried in the "Lane" lot in Galena, Kansas. Mary Matilda Jones Poyser (wife of William Norton Poyser) had the bodies of Phebe Florence Armstrong Poyser and her own little twin daughter, Josephine moved from the Bethel Cemetery to the Long Island cemetery after the death of Wm Norton Poyser. Mary Rebecca Clark Armstrong McKibben was living with her daughter Phebe and son-in-law Daniel Poyser and was a widow aged 75 and born in North Carolina, in 1885."

After Phebe died, Daniel remarried to a widow named Nancy Ann Lane (Stewart) daughter of James Seagle/Segals Lane and Susanna McKibben, on 13 May 1894 in Galena, Kansas by Elder W.H.South. They had no children together. Nancy's link is on Daniel Poyser's record.
