Gwendolyn Grace Holmes 1905 - 1989 - m. Lester "Cy" Connett
Mary Irene Holmes July 1908 - Sept 1908
Obituary - The Lyons Daily News, Lyons, Rice Co, Kansas, Feb 1915:
Sadie G Holmes, daughter of Robert H Day and Mary (Foote) Day, was born June 1, 1869, in Mercer county, Illinois. She came to Kansas with her parents in March 1879, where she was educated in the schools of Lyons. After her graduation from the Lyons high school, she taught school for 8 years, of which 2 years were spent in the schools of Lyons. Sadie was one of a class of 14 that graduated in the year 1888, and it is thought she is the first of that class to pass away.
She was received into the Methodist Episcopal church and baptized by the Rev A O Ebright, January 9th, 1897, since which time she has lived a beautiful Christian life.
She was united in marriage to Curtis A Holmes, July 20, 1897. To this union were born 2 children, Gwendolyn Grace, who is now 9 years of age and Mary Irene who died in infancy.
With the family she lived near Lyons until in May 1913, when they removed to Colorado. Four weeks ago they came back to Lyons to attend her father's funeral. Her health had been somewhat infirm, and after the funeral she was taken down and gradually failed until the end came Saturday morning Feb 27, 1915, at 1 o'clock. Her break down and departure was a surprise to her friends, for Sadie was always strong. She was one to whom all the others had looked for help in trouble and affliction, nor ever looked in vain.
She had looked upon her father's face, peaceful in the sleep of death and had said: "You are all right, Daddy, we will all meet you," though perhaps she little thought the meeting would be so soon.
She wanted to live for her husband and little girl, and made a brave fight for life, but she was resigned, and the end was peaceful. She told her mother she was trusting in her Savior and listened eagerly to the reading of the 14th chapter of St John. She told her little girl to be good and bade her and her husband and all the friends goodbye.
She was a devoted wife and mother and literally gave her life to her husband and daughter, never thinking of herself. She was of a sweet and happy disposition and during her illness never once complained of her sufferings, her thought was always of others, her anxiety was to give no trouble to them. She is "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, from which none ever wakes to weep."
The funeral was held at the Methodist church at 2:30 Tuesday and was attended by a large number of friends. The sermon was preached by Dr A O Ebright of El Dorado. Rev Irwin and Rev Bash assisted in the sermon. Interment was in Graceland cemetery.
The friends who bore her so tenderly to her last resting place were all old time neighbors - F L Gray, Ralph Nordstrom, D N Hill, H C Markle, Marian Wilson and A C Blair.
Mrs Clair Dinsmore, Mrs A C Blair and Mrs George Lantz, who were classmates in the Lyons high school had charge of the flowers of which there was a most generous supply from old friends. Music was furnished by the male quartet composed of Messrs. Fred Taylor, Stanley Embree, Guy Miller and Forest Ebright.
The family is deeply indebted to all these and the other friends and neighbors who have been so kind and thoughtful during these hours of sickness.
