After an illness of many months from valvular heart trouble, Mrs. Anna Church, widow of the late Rev. Augustus B. Church, died at her farm at South Edmeston, NY Friday, August 1. Funeral services took place today at that place where interment was made.
Mrs. Church was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. I. M. Atwood of Canton. She was educated at St. Lawrence University, graduating in the class of 1886, the same class in which Mr. Church graduated.
She was joined in marriage with Mr. Church shortly after he closed his studies here in the Theological school. For the many years that served as pastor of various churches in Maine, Massachusetts and finally at Akron, Ohio, she made the ideal pastors wife and helpmeet, and when later Mr. Church was called to the presidency of Buchtel College at Akron she was still his sympathetic and active counselor and aid. When Mr. Church died last November, Mrs. Church was quite ill. Later she came to Canton and was ill in bed here for two or three months. She finally grew better and decided that she would go to a farm she owned at South Edmeston, NY and there live. She was there only two or three weeks when she again fell ill and her health was on the gradual decline till death came.
Mrs. Church is survived by two sons and two daughters, as follows, Evelyn, about twenty, who graduated from Buchtel College the present year and who will teach in the High School at New Berlin, NY the coming year; John, eighteen who is in the employ of a rubber company at Akron O, Harold and Dorothy, younger children who are at the Church home at South Edmeston. Surviving also are the father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. I. M. Atwood, one brother, Pfoj. J. M. Atwood of St. Lawrence University, and three sisters, Mrs. Williston Manley and Miss Norah Atwood of Canton, and Miss Alice Atwood of Washington, DC.
