Mary Eblin Ream was born in Jay County, Indiana December 25, 1844 and died at her home in Lowry City July 20, 1915. In 1863 she was married to Emanuel Ream at Knoxville, Iowa, and to this union was born one child, Mrs. W.T. Moore, now of Chica, California, and who was present at the funeral. The husband had preceded her to the beyond last September. She leaves behind the one daughter, two sisters, Sarah Margaret Reading of Lowry City, and Cynthia White of Alba, Missouri, besides there are numerous nieces and nephews, grandchildren, and great grandchildren to mourn the loss. One nephew, James Ream of St. Joseph, was present when the end came and remained for the interment. Mrs. Ream united with the Christian Church over 40 years ago and for the past 29 years resided in Lowry City and so far as the writer is able to learn she never had a single enemy anywhere. Funeral services were conducted by the Rev. H.G. Koenig Thursday p.m. and remains laid to rest at the city cemetery.
