Lillian E. Taylor

Lillian Etta Methven was born on February 20, 1864, at Mt. Ayr, Iowa, and passed away at her home in Eustis, Nebr., on June 24th 1935, at the age of 71 years, four months and four days, following many months of delicate health.

At an early age she felt the necessity of a better life and united with the Evangelical Church, to which she remained a devoted member throughout her life time.

On February 26, 1884, she was united in marriage to Hyrum Tarman at Mt. Ayr, Iowa. In 1891 she accompanied her husband to Frontier County, Nebraska, and except for two years in the state of Washington it has been her home continuously since. Mr. Tarman passed away at Eustis on August 4, 1903.

On December 14, 1904, she was united in marriage to Eugene S. Taylor and resided on a farm south of Eustis until the spring of 1915 when they took up their residence in Eustis where Mr. Taylor passed away on October 8, 1917.

She leaves to mourn her passing one adopted son, John Tarman; seven step-children, Claude of Gosper; Lloyd of Mccook; Mel of Seattle, Wash.; Elmer and Lester of Eustis; Mrs. Edith Moody of Fort Stockton, Texas and Mrs. Pinkie Horn of La Salle, Colorado; two brothers, John Methven of Buhl, Idaho and Charles Methven of Wichita, Kansas; cousins at Creston, Iowa; nieces and nephews, other relatives, and a multitude of friends who mourn her passing.

Many were the deeds of kindness performed by her to those in need and these loving deeds will ever be green in our memory. Her friends and her flowers were the great delights of her life.

No sickness or sorrow or pain
Shall ever disquiet her now;
For death to her spirit was gain
Since Christ was her light here be-
low
Her soul has now taken its flight-
To mansions of glory above
To mingle with agels of light
And dwell in the kingdom of love.

The last rites were performed Wednesday afternoon at the Evangelical Church, the Rev. C.B. Thomas giving the sermon and using as his text Job 3:17- "There the wicked cease from troubling; and the weary are at rest."

Mrs. N. Thomas, A.J. Baker and Mrs. and Mrs. E.C. Schroeder, with Miss Bessie Pickering playing the accompaniment, sang "Going Down the Valley One by One", "Some Day 'Twill All be Over", and "When I get to the End of the Way".

Friends of the pioneer days and neighbors who carried her to the last place of rest in Eustis cemetery were Wm. Ebele, Ed Timm, Wm. Maloney, M.R. Jurjens, Chas. Halbgewachs and H.H.Linke.
