MRS. C.E. STILL DIES AT FAMILY HOME HERE
Services for Widely-Known Resident at 2 p.m., Sunday.
Mrs. Charles E. Still, prominent in Kirksville life for more than a half century, and widely known in Missouri club circles and among osteopathic physicians over the world, died last night at the family home here.
Funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the First Methodist church, of which she had been a member since 1886, by the pastor, the Rev. J.W. Ward. Burial will be in Forest-Llewellyn Cemetery. The body will be at the Davis Funeral Home until time for the service.
Mrs. Still's maiden name was Anna Florence Ryder, and she was born in Cadiz, O., the daughter of Lewis and Elizabeth Ryder, who moved to Clarence, Mo., when she was an infant. She was married June 30, 1892, to Dr. Charles E. Still, who at that time was assisting his father, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, in the founding of the American School of Osteopathy, the first osteopathic college in the world. They celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary last June.
Five children were born to this union, two of whom survive, Dr. Elizabeth Esterline, of Kirksville, and Dr. Charles Still, Jr., of Macon. She also leaves three grandchildren, Charles Still Esterline, of Kirksville, and Charles Shelton Still and Gerry Lewis Still, of Macon.
Always interested in civic affairs and community betterment, Mrs. Still had a leading part in the formation of the Sojourners club here and became prominent in Missouri club work.
Dr. C.E. Still served for many years as president of the American School of osteopathy and Mrs. Still took an active interest in the large student body and particularly those who had moved here with their families. This service and the fact that she usually accompanied Dr. Still to osteopathic meetings gave her a nation-wide acquaintance with osteopathic physicians.
During the fourteen years Dr. Still has served as a member of the Missouri Legislature, Mrs. Still took a great interest in his work and spent practically all of each session in Jefferson City with him. She served as vice-president of the organization formed there by the wives of legislators, and was appointed by Gov. Stark as a member of the Missouri Commission in charge of the state's exhibits at the New York and San Francisco fairs.
Mrs. Still was always interested in the beauties of nature and expressed her artistic appreciation in the assembling of what is known as "natural mosaics." Some of her woodland scenes, made in this mosaic style, have won wide recognition at the Century of Progress Exposition and international expositions since that time.
